Description: | Fragment of very chunky Iron Age bracelet, round section hoop decorated with moulded transverse ribs and grooves. Both ends are broken. Apart from a small amount of recent damage the breaks are ancient, and covered in ferrous staining. Towards one end, which is almost certainly miscast and is broken longitudinally and distorted, the section becomes enlarged and D-shaped, the inner face flattening out. Hoop diameter 7 – 8mm. Internal diameter c.33mm. Probably penannular. The dating is not certainly Iron Age, cf. Macgregor 1976, 106, nos.228-9. The ribbing is more rounded and larger than that on Middle Bronze Age bracelets like those from Methwold (HER 5235), and smaller than that on a neck ring from Little Snoring (HER 29132). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
