Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy lipped terret. Less than half of the loop survives, it is oval in cross-section and curvilinear, measuring c42mm in length and c7mm in width. In the centre of the outer face of this loop fragment there is a double lipped moulding consisting of two parallel rounded projections with transverse mouldings inbetween them. The loop is flaring in width towards the now missing bar. There is a circumferential roughly circular moulding, or stop, measuring c12mm in diameter at the point just before the missing bar would begin. This terret fragment is most likely to be Iron Age and date to the first century BC similar lipped terrets are known from Saham Toney in Norfolk (Davies 1996, 71-73, fig 6). | 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: | -100
