Description: | A Roman clapper bell in very good condition, with the iron clapper now corroded away. This bell measures 22.6mm in height and has a rim diameter of 25.7mm. It has a suspension loop with a circular perforation through it. Below and to one side of the suspension loop there is a single oval shaped sound hole, measuring 4mm by 2.8mm in size. Inside the bell there are traces of corroded iron, presumably from the now missing iron clapper.
This bell is very similar, in both size and form to another discovered at Dragonby, a late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement in North Lincolnshire, which was discovered in association with other late Roman artefacts (May 1996, 281, 283, fig 11.29, no 134). | 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
