A fragment of a glass bead of uncertain date (probably Roman to Post Medieval). The fragment is approximately a quarter of the circumference of the bead, measuring 21.05mm in length, 19.20mm in width and 19.10mm in thickness. Based on these measurements it seems likely that the complete bead would have measured c.42.10mm in diameter. It weighs 6.78g. The bead is formed from semi-transparent pale blue glass, inlaid with a looping pattern of dark blue opaque glass. The lines of decoration are divided into small sections by transverse lines of pale opaque glass.
