Description: | About half of a terret with a rounded hoop which retains one (of perhaps an original three) 'lip' mouldings. The bar is sub-rectangular in section and is tall and narrow; it is bent at one end just before an old and worn break. At the other end is a diminutive oval stop measuring 8 x 9 mm. The circular-section hoop then rises from the other face of the stop, and tapers as it curves around. At the widest point of the terret is the 'lip' moulding. This consists of a longitudinally set oval moulding on the outer edge, with a broad V-shaped groove set transversely across it looking like an open mouth. A little way beyond the moulding is another old break. The terret is corroded, but has patches of a dark olive green surface. The surviving height is 34 mm, the surviving width 38 mm; the maximum thickness is 8 mm.
