Description: | A copper-alloy lock-pin of Roman date. Similar pins have been found in excavations in Colchester (see Crummy, 1983, p. 124-5). From above, the head of the pin is circular in plan. The upper surface is recessed and from the centre projects a cone with a depression at the centre. The outer surface of the head has deeply moulded decoration. At the top, an angled rim gives way to a wide ridge; below this ridge are three grooves separated by low, narrow ridges. The shaft is rectangular in plan and of thin rectangular section. The object is corroded and has adhering traces of an unidentified white substance. It measures 43.4mm long, 16.7mm wide and weighs 27.06g.
