An incomplete cast copper alloy 'miniature' knobbed terret ring of probable later Iron Age or early Roman date (100 BC - 200 AD). Approximately 1/5 of the terret survives, originally it would have been D shaped in plan; it is now an irregular crescent (C shape). The cross section varies in shape along the length of the terret; for the majority it is oval / lentoid. At the base of the ring is a horizontal strap bar with an angular faceted lentoid cross section. This bar is incomplete; all that remains is a small section and scar at one end. The strap bar itself is slight and much thinn…
