Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of the hoof-shaped terminal of a Late Iron Age to early Roman copper alloy linch pin, roughly circular and cast with a chord missing, and part of the ankle or shank. At the break across the shank a large air-hole has been exposed. A blob of metal adheres to the reverse near the edge. Parts of the surface and the fracture are blackened.
