County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
A piece of gold wire made from four strands twisted. The wire was made from 4 smaller wires (diameter c. 2.4 mm) twisted together in a clockwise spiral giving an overall diameter for the twisted wire of 5 mm. The wire piece weighs 7.24g and is 20mm long (unstraightened). The fragment appears to have been cut from a larger piece of wire at one end, although the other end appears to be a break. Analysis shows these wires are made of over 80% gold.

A cast copper alloy highly decorative object, probably a handle from a bronze/ copper alloy vessel. The object was taken to the British Museum where Jody Joy (Iron Age curator) and Ralph Jackson (Roman curator) felt that it dated from the very end of the 1st Century BC to the early part of the 1st Century AD. It is therefore very late Iron Age to very early Roman in date. They noticed that the style is Roman (especially the creature's eye) but the metal working style looks Iron Age. Some similar vessel handle and fitting were found in a German publication, but the best parallel can be…
