Description: | An incomplete copper alloy clapper bell, measuring 41.62mm in height and 21.62mm in width at its top end. The rim of this bell is oval in shape and measures 49.64mm by 46.91mm in size. At the top of this bell there are two small oval shaped parallel perforations 13.16mm apart, with corroded iron within and between them. In the inside face of the bell at this point more corroded iron can be seen and this is likely to be the remains of an iron clapper. Near to the top of the bell there is a deep circumferencial groove across half of the bell and in one area this groove has worn through the bell to leave a hole. File marks are visible on the outside of the bell, which also has numerous small dents and areas of corrosion. The inside face of the bell is rough and uneven.
This bell is very similar, in both size and form to another discovered at Dragonby, a late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement in North Lincolnshire, which was discovered in association with other late Roman artefacts (May 1996, 281, 283, fig 11.29, no 134). | Subjects: | clapper | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
