A late Iron Age to early Roman cast copper-alloy toggle (c. 300 BC - c. 100 AD). The toggle is symmetrical in form with a central bulbous body and a circular terminal at each end giving the toggle a 'hammer head' or 'baluster' shape. Each terminal is about 9.70mm in diameter and their ends are plain. The body is partly hollow as it has a sub-rectangular void at the centre with an over-arching loop on a longitudinal alignment. On the opposite side of the void, the body is slightly flattened and has a circular depression with the remains of a rivet. There is no trace of any inlaid mat…

An incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Roman looped toggle (c. 100 BC-AD 100). The toggle survives in a poor condition. This artefact has been cast in one piece and most of the loop is missing. The main body is dumbbell-shaped and sub-circular in cross-section. The central block from which the loop extends has a partial circumferential groove. At the each side of the central block a short arm, circular in cross-section, extends to a dome-headed terminal Extending out from the central block is the remains of a sub-triangular attachment loop. One part of the loop is much thicker than …

An incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Roman cast copper-alloy toggle (c. 100 BC-c. AD 100). The head is sub-cylindrical throughout it width. The central segment has a groove at the top and the lower part extends to form a shaft for the loop which is missing. The end of the shaft bi-furcates where the start of the loop formed. It has a waist each side of the central segment and each terminal is circular when viewed from the sides. This toggle is pitted and corroded overall and has patches of a shiny patina. A small area of patina on one of the terminals suggests that the end was flat…

A Late Iron Age to Early Roman cast copper-alloy toggle (c. 300 BC - c. 100 AD). This toggle has a central body with circular terminals at each end. One side of the body has a circular cell with a 'pit' at its centre and on the other side there is a rectangular cell. These are empty. At each short end of the rectangular cell there are what appear to be a small stub and these may be the remains of a loop. The cell at the visible end is filled with an off-white substance with a 'pit' at the centre. This object has not been seen by the FLO. Consequently, the description is from the ac…
