Description: | A complete annular glass bead. Colourless with a blueish tinge. The perforation has a diameter of 5.6mm and is off-centre. The wall has an uneven thickness and is 3.5-4.7mm in height. The diameter is 11mm and the thickness of the wall is 2-3.1mm. It weighs 0.52g. Monochrome annular beads have been found in both late Iron Age and Roman contexts and are difficult to date precisely (Guido 1978, 65-6 group 6iia, 140-2). Blue/green examples are the most common, but dark blue, yellow/brown and greenish colourless examples are also known.
