A small fragment of gold sheet was discovered. The fragment clearly is part of a larger object, but unfortunately close examination has proved unable to establish from what object the fragment came. It is impossible to establish the date of the object from which the fragment came. Analysis of the metal content of the fragment was also unable to provide further help in dating the piece. The fragment was found to contain 91% gold. Dr JD Hill Department of Prehistory and Early Europe The British Museum London

A fragment of gold jewellery, possibly part of an earring dating to the Roman period. The fragment comprises a flat sheet of gold which has been folded and is approximately semi-circular in plan. The fragment measures 4mm in length, 6mm in width and 0.5mm in thickness. The fragment weighs 0.1 grams. Its shape may suggest that it is part of an Allason-Jones Type 13 earring of single or double boss type, dating to the first or second century AD (Allason-Jones 1989, 10). However, it is too fragmentary to identify with any certainty.
