An incomplete cast copper alloy parallel-winged terret of Iron Age date. Approximately one-third of the object remains. What remains of the hoop of the terret is circular in section with a wide collar from which a rectangular sectioned fitting bar would have projected. The hoop itself tapers away from the collar curving steadily and terminates in a worn break. An integrally cast triple facetted parallel wing projects from the outer edge of the terret, roughly halfway along its length, forming an S-shape which extends around roughly three-quarters of the circumference of the terret loo…

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy bead, circular in plan and oval in profile, with a flattened top and bottom. The bead has been drilled once cast, so that it has a central perforation that is circular in plan and an hour-glass shape in profile. The initial aperture is 7 mm in diameter and then it narrows to the inner hole which is 4 mm in diameter. The surface of the bead is slightly pitted and damaged around the edge of the aperture but the general patina is a rich green colour and has survived well.
Beads with similar plans and profiles have been recorded on this database as dating from the Iron…

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Slate spindle whorl, oval in plan and flat in profile, with parallel faces, a smooth flat edge, and a slightly off-centre perforation. The perforation is about 6 mm in diameter at the surface of each face, and has been drilled from each face, but has only just met in the middle, exposing a small hole about 0.6 mm in diameter. Both of the apertures are off-centre, suggesting that the whorl would not be quite balanced while used in the spinning process, and perhaps this is why the piece was never completed. Slate is commonly used in the county for spindle whorls as it is light and easy …

County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very worn late first century Iron Age silver minim, of uninscribed type. One side of the coin has been offstruck, and shows a small cross within a pelleted circle; the other shows a reverse bell-shape with an additional pellet to the right. This has similarities to ABC 1142 depicting a Tincomarus Bull's head facing forward (which is a particularly rare coin). Whilst the worn nature of this coin makes certain identification difficult, it is probable that this coin was of a similar type and date (c. 20 BC - AD 10).

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A gold circular object which is largely diagnostic but may be a fragment of a worked blank for a Centic stater. Both faces are smooth and flat, and the edges are fractured. It weighs 3.94g, and is approximately 50% complete. The diameter is 15mm and it is 3.9mm thick.
Ian leins, curator of Iron Age coins at the British Museum, states that: "The weight and size make it a plausible coin-blank...however, in its damaged state it is not possible to accurately judge its full weight and therefore whether it is a blank or not".
Therefore, without markings or any other diagnostic informati…
