A fragment of a bone hair pin, pin or needle of probable Roman date comprising a portion of the shaft and the pointed tip. The surface is a dark brown colour with oblique striations. The object is sub-circular in cross section and the point is conical. Measurements are; length 49.3mm, diameter at the widest point 2.3mm and weight 0.36g. This is narrower than the maximum diameter given for most Roman pins and hair pins on the PAS database, but this may be because the head is missing. Similar bone hair pins have been recorded on the database including SUR-6AA775 and LON-10EEF7.
