Description: | Romano-British protected-loop terret. Rounded knob at end of a central arris on both triangular halves of the downwards sloping skirt. One of two vertical knobs above ends of roughly D-sectioned loop missing. At the top, on a double-stepped base or collar, the ring, of which only the stubs are extant, is set at right angles to the skirt. A most unusual design with its vertical knobs and two-part skirt: the skirts of almost all protected loop terrets contain four elements, two opposed and angled downwards (as here) and the other pair upwards. For the normal type see examples from Wales (Newport, PAS NMGW-7DOAA5) and Suffolk (Aldeburgh, SF-A449D4). Height >41mm. Width 46.5mm across skirt, and 33mm across ends of loop. Probably mid 1st century AD.
