Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy terret ring. Part of the bar and hoop survive the rest of this terret is missing due to old breaks, now worn. The bar fragment is rectangular in shape and flat, it measures 16mm in surviving length and 7mm in width. Seperating the bar from the hoop there is a flat circular disc, measuring 16mm in diameter. The hoop fragment is curvilinear and measures 22mm in surviving length and is roughly circular in cross-section measuring c6mm in diameter, the diameter of the hoop fragment decreases away from the bar. This terret has patches of active green corrosion visible. Terret rings date to the Iron Age, first century BC. Similar terret fragments have been found elsewhere in Suffolk, for example at Mildenhall (see SF-2723). Another very similar terret fragment was also found nearby in Combs (see SF-D1EE07).
