Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete terret of rein ring of late Iron Age or Roman date. This terret consists of a large complete circular upper loop and a fragmentary probably originally rectangular lower loop. Both loops have a rectangular cross-section and the larger complete loop measures c33mm external diameter and c24mm in internal diameter. It is c4.6mm in thickness, but the lower part of the larger loop, directly opposite the fragmentary second loop, is only 3.9mm in thickness, this is probably due to use wear. Patches of the original dark brown patina survive but it is mostly worn away. A very similar but complete terret has been found at Hacheston, Suffolk (Blagg, Plouviez, Tester, 2004, 128-129, fig 89, no 228).
