Description: | A copper-alloy object of probable late Iron Age to Roman date. It is currently unclear exactly what this artefact was used for, but there is a possibility that it is either a dress fastener or a terret ring. The article consists of a semi-circular loop. At a right angle to the loop, at its flat sided rear there is a projection with a T shaped gap in the rear, presumably for attachment. The top of this projection is also semi-circular and has faint remains of incised decoration. There is also a circular indentation in the centre of the projection. No parallels for this object have yet been found.
