Description: | Fragment of a late Iron Age-early Roman triple lipped terret. Only about one third of the object remains. The terret would presumably have originally displayed the characteristic feature of a three lip-like mouldings around the hoop. Half of the plain bar remains, which has a concave oval sunken into it, presumably as a method of attachment. No iron is present in the recessed oval. MacGregor (1976) dates similar examples from Northern Britain to the mid to late 1st century AD although a date in the 1st century BC/1st century AD for this type is probable (Hutcheson 30).
