Description: | A cast copper alloy toggle of late Iron Age or early Roman date. The toggle measures 30.4mm by 16.6mm by 10.5mm and weighs 14.9g. It is cylindrical with a loop on one side, which would have been used to attach the toggle to clothing or horse harness. The loop has a broader curving central section which narrows slightly on each side before flaring out again at the point where it meets the main body of the toggle. At each end of the cylinder is a slightly expanded terminal, c. 5.5mm in length, which contains a deep and wide groove on the side opposite the loop. There is a further similar feature in the centre of the bar. Lipped decoration such as this is more commonly seen on late Iron Age terret harness fittings.
