Complete glass bead, probably post-medieval to modern in date (c AD1600-1900). The bead is opaque blue in colour and is circular, formed from a single tube of glass pinched together, forming a natural hole through the middle. The joining seam of the bead is thinner than the rest, measuring 0.87mm in thickness. Traces of paint/residue can be seen on the glass surface. Beads are difficult to date with certainty, but the colour and finish of this bead suggests a modern date.
