Description: | An incomplete probable terret ring of Roman date. The bar of the terret is of oval cross-section and is in a horizontal plain, rather than the more typical vertical bar of Late Iron Age examples. The long bar forms a base for the terret and the hoop emerges from two integral grooved platforms. The hoop only survives on one side and there is the suggestion of a spur rising from the interior of the hoop. There is no surviving evidence for attachment on the underside of the bar, implying the terret was attached by means of a strap securing the bar. The piece is eroded, and apart from the grooves between the hoop and bar, no other decoration is discernible. The terret can be paralleled with an example from Loudon Hill, Ayrshire (Mac Gregor 1976 No 110). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
