There is no obvious pontil scar. The glass has a greenish tinge demonstrating an unbleached natural iron content and contains small bubbles with a laminar texture visible in the cross section at the breaks.

A blue glass bead with a slightly off central perforation. The bead is broadly bun / globular shaped and is light blue in colour. The bead has a decorative white stripe of glass within the matrix. Glass beads are common finds from the late Iron Age - Early Medieval period, however stylistically this form is likely to date from the late Iron Age or early Roman period. Dating beads visually is very difficult, however given similar beads are recorded as being of Iron Age to Roman date, this has been tentatively suggested for this find.

Probably black glass bead. A small biconvex bead with a central moulded stringing hole of diameter 3.3mm, and with a collar on one side of the hole, of Guido’s form 12 (page 92, fig. 37). The good condition may point to a soda glass, the typical Roman recipe which enjoys better long term survival than the later forms of glass. The bead may have been intended to be dark blue, which was common for beads in pre-Roman, Roman and post-Roman times. Against this suggestion, no hint of blue tint is discernible under either reflected or transmitted light. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 D…

A complete, annular bead made from translucent pale blue glass dating to the Roman period (c AD 43-410). The bead has a slightly domed face with the reverse being flatter giving it a D-shaped profile. Although in good condition the surface has numerous pits and indentations. It has a circular, straight walled perforation of approximately 3mm diameter which is slightly off centre. The object is probably Roman-British as it was found in the same locality as other glass beads dated to this period also recorded on the database. See PAS records WAW-0A7E88 and WAW-0A0A84. The over…
