Object type: TORC
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of solid gold rod, possibly part of a torc of Iron Age date, about 350 - 50 BC, but not conclusively so. The object is likely to be over 300 years old.
The fragment is a short length of solid gold rod, of oval cross-section, and slightly curved. One flat end appears complete.; it is smooth, but is angled across the rod and is slightly concave. The other end is cut half way through with a shap instrument such as a chisel, and then torn/broken across the thinnest point. The break is rough and shows some small air pockets within the rod, suggesting an imperfect casting. T…

Object type: TORC
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a probable Iron Age or Early Roman copper alloy beaded torc dating from 100 BC - 200 AD. The surviving fragment is four beads cast in one. The two centre beads are biconical, one of the outer beads is more rounded, probably owing to wear and corrosion, and the other has a more rectangular terminal. There is a simple collar between each pair of beads. There is iron corrosion along one side of the object, and testing with a magnet suggests that there is an iron core. It is not clear whether the iron along the edge has corroded from the inside, or whether it is from another objec…

Object type: EAR RING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy object of uncertain date and function. According to record number BH-439987: “several similar artefacts, identified as ear rings, have been found in the Champagne region of France and are illustrated in the Morel Collection (I.M. Stead and V. Rigby; 1999; fig. 120). They generally date to the late La Tène I period. However, the French examples differ slightly in that they appear to have been made from thin sheet metal and bent and pressed into shape; this piece is heavy, solid and has been cast in one piece.”
This example is also cast, heavy and hollow but does n…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy object, possibly a harness fitting or strap distributor dating to the late Iron Age. The object is sub triangular in shape with concave sides and a spherical junction at each angle. The object measures 29.3mm in length, 27.3mm in width and 10.4mm in thickness. The object has been assigned a possible Late Iron Age date due to its dark green patina rather than on stylistic grounds, but it is very similar to another object recorded on the database: CAM-A80DC7. However, there are also similarities with Late Iron Age and Roman button and loop fastener which support such…
