An incomplete cast copper alloy derivative three-link type bridle bit, probably dating to the Iron Age between 500 BC – AD 43 (length: 73mm; width at loop: 13.3mm; thickness at centre: 11.3mm; weight: unknown). The artefact consists of a slightly curved square-sectioned bar with a protruding collar in the centre, which has two incised lines to either side.

The artefact has been coated in a material.
