Bracelet 1 A complete and well crafted penannular bracelet with a band of thin, ‘C’ section. The section is, however, thickest at the centre, thinner, rounded and highly polished along the edges. The band tapers gently towards the squared off terminals, which are defined by a narrow beading created by turning the metal outward slightly. The bracelet has many dents and scratches visible under magnification. Slight compression of the band around the middle has caused limited distortion and misalignment of the terminals. One of the latter is damaged by a small nick. D…

A gold fragment, possibly from a bracelet or torc, dating to the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1400-1150 BC (probably Penard phase, c. 1300 - 1100 BC). The fragment is broadly rectangular in cross section and measures 26.58mm in length. It has been loosely twisted, probably as part of decoration. The twist is regular which suggests this was part of the object when it was worn rather than occurring during later deposition. The fragment is ‘hooked’ in shape overall and weighs 8.35g. The break on the shorter end of the fragment appears to be cut. Dimensions: Length,&nb…

A fragment of a gold penannular bracelet of Late Bronze Age date (1150-800 BC). Description: The fragment survives as a small section of the full band with a circular section.
