Description: | An incomplete copper alloy covered loop terret, measuring 33mm in heigth and 44mm in width. The ring is missing, due to an old break, the short rectangular shaped neck is decorated with transverse moulding with vertical incisions visible on this. Beneath this is the 'skirt' which would have covered the missing loop. This consists of two short lateral projections which curve upwards and have circular shaped knobs at their tips. As well as larger front and back elements, one of which is now missing due to an old break. The surviving larger element also terminates in a circular shaped knob. Underneath the skirt there is some iron corrosion which seems to indicate that an iron loop existed there. This terret is Roman in date and similar terrets have been discovered elsewhere in Suffolk from Cockfield, Cavenham, and Barnardiston.
