A white semi-opaque glass bead of Iron Age to Modern date (about 400 BC - AD 1900). It is globular and slightly asymmetrical. Measurements are; diameter 9.4mm, length 6.5mm and weight 0.75g.  The central hole has a diameter of 2.3mm. Owing to the lack of diagnostic features and contextual evidence it is very difficult to accurately date simple beads such as this example, because they were in use across a number of different periods.
