Description: | An incomplete and slightly corroded copper-alloy toggle of late Iron Age date. There has been little study of this category of artefact, but several similar pieces are known from southern Britain (see, for example, R. Jackson, 1990, p. 40). The object is symmetrical in form. It consists of a horizontal bar of circular section. At each end is a terminal of inverted conical form, creating a flat end. There is a slight swelling at the centre of the bar divided into two by a central transverse groove. Extending upwards from the central part are two protrusions - part of the broken loop attachment. By the sides of these protusions are two holes extending into the toggle, possibly casting flaws which suggest it is partially hollow.The toggle measures 19.7mm long, 7.8mm in diameter at the middle and 8.0mm at the end. The weight is 4.91g.
