Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy terret ring. Part of hoop and the circular disc seperating the hoop from the now missing bar survive the rest of this terret is missing due to old breaks, now worn. The hoop fragment is curvilinear and measures c25mm in surviving length and 6mm in width, it has a roughly oval shaped cross-section. The width of the hoop decreases away from the bar end. Seperating the hoop from the missing bar there is a flat circular disc, measuring 18mm in diameter. 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, and another very similar example was found near by in Combs (see SF-D1CAB3).
