An incomplete cast copper alloy terret of simple type dating to the Late Iron Age, circa 300BC-AD100. Just under half of the object survives due to old breaks. The hoop of the terret is circular in section and originally the object would have been D-shaped in plan. The object terminates with the remains of the plate bar protruding from a collar which has two moulded bands of decoration. The hoop narrows from the collar as it curves round to the apex of the terret where it terminates with a break. The surface of the hoop is undecorated. The metal is worn with a mid green patina.
