Description: | A fragment of a gold cast and wrought bracelet of Middle or Late Bronze Age date (c. 1500 BC - c. 750 BC).Length: 20.9mm; width: 6.1mm and 4.8mm thick. Weight: 4.98g.The fragment is a short length of rod originally of circular section but now sub-oval in section. Two opposite faces have two distinct facets with hammered marks and taper back to meet in the middle. The two other faces are slightly convex and have fine longitudinal striations, two on one face and one on the other. Each end is formed by an old ragged break.This fragment may have originally been part of a Bronze Age bar bracelet and as such, it would belong to the Middle or Late Bronze Age. A similar object has been recorded from the East Dean area, East Sussex (Treasure Annual Report 2004, 23, fig. 7, ref. 2004 T59). This similar object has also been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See find: SUSS-23E3A5.
