A fragment of a copper alloy terret ring dating from the late Iron age to early Roman periods, c. 50 BC -150 AD. The fragment consists of a projecting sub oval collar from which at one end protrudes part of the narrow rectangular strap-bar and at the other end a remnant of the main circular loop. Both of the broken ends are abraded and like the main body of the object have a mid green patina which would suggest the the break was made in antiquity. Terret rings were used as rein guides on chariots or carts used during the late Iron Age to Early Roman period.
