Description: | Cast copper alloy annular bead, circular in plan, biconical in profile, and oval in section, with a flattened surface around both of the perforations at top and base. There are two linear grooves, running around the circumference of the bead, above and below the central ridge which gives the bead its diameter. The bead has a central pentagonal perforation, 5 mm in diameter, which is uneven and not machine made. The surface of the bead is pitted and corroded so that any remaining pattern is difficult to make out.Beads with similar decorative attributes have been recorded on this database as dating from the Iron Age to the Roman period (see NMS-980248; KENT-468B63; HAMP-2F6EC1; SUSS-D668A0; IOW-7CC9B7). Such an attribution is not inconsistent with finds made in the vicinity.
