Description: | A copper-alloy possible bracelet fragment. This fragment is oval in cross-section, 6mm in width and 3mm thick, and has been bent almost in half, if unbent its length would be 36mm. The outer face is decorated with diagonal grooves, one end has an incised cross. The inner face is smooth. Similar bracelets have been discovered at Colchester, with diagonal grooves. They are Roman in date and Crummy has suggested that the diagonal grooving was meant to imitate in solid form the appearance of cable armlets (Crummy 1983, 41-42, Fig 44, no 1693).
