Description: | Complete, cast copper alloy Late Iron Age or Early Roman toggle. This object takes the form of a cylindrical body, capped at either end with flat circular roves. Projecting from the centre of the main body is a circular loop. The object is much abraded and pitted with the original surface now missing. It now has a light green patina with large patches of orangey brown corrosion (This is not magnetic, suggesting it is copper deterioration and not from association with an iron object). It is 32.9mm long and 8.5mm wide. The roves have a diameter of 14.68mm and 12.2mm and are 4mm thick. The loop has a diameter of 13.2mm. The toggle weighs 20g. Similar, though slightly more decorative examples have been recorded in Suffolk. See SF2680 and SF2857.
