Fragment of a piece of later prehistoric metalwork, most probably a later Iron Age terret ring. The fragment is irregular in plan and cross section; it curves and tapers slightly from a rectangular sectioned bar to an oval section at an angle of less than 30%. If it were from a terret ring this would fit with the transition from base to loop. The patina is a mid brown colour and has substantially laminated revealing the metal beneath which has corroded. The fragment measures 31.2mm length, 8.7mm width and is 6.9mm thick; it weighs 7.31 grams

Cast copper alloy fragment of unknown function – most likely to be part of a harness of later Iron Age or Roman date (200 BC – 400 AD). The fragment is cast in one piece; it consists of four circles conjoined on their edges to form an irregular quatrefoil in plan. In cross section the artefact is sub-rectangular. Through the centre of the quatrefoil is an irregular sub-rectangular hole, it is positioned at the junction between the four circles. The hole measures 5.4mm x 3.6mm. Each of the four circles differs in size, although they seem to be ordered with the largest example (diame…

Cast copper alloy toggle or fastener of probable Late Iron Age date (150BC - 50 AD). The toggle is irregular in plan and broadly sub-oval in cross section. It is cast in one piece with a relatively thick slightly irregular oval (with a slightly pointed edge) shaped loop. From this pointed end a sub-rectangular shaped shank projects which terminates in a sub-spherical knop. The loop of the toggle and its cross section are irregular. The upper face has a domed convex profile whilst the lower is relatively flat in comparison. The internal edges of the loop are also rounded. The projecting…
