A fragment of cast copper alloy object, probably a terret, dating from the Middle Iron Age to Early Roman Periods (c. 250BC to 200 AD). The object consists only of a short section of metal, heavily worn and ending in breaks at both ends. This makes precise typological study and dating difficult. The object consists of a curved length of moulded copper alloy, with two sections separated by an expanded moulding. The shorter section, potentially representing the bar of the terret, is sub-rectangular in section, with surviving dimensions of 9.4mm thick, 6.2mm wide and 7.1mm long. It joins…
