Description: | Complete copper alloy mini terret ring. The terret ring has broad thickened shoulders and expanded restrictions for the strap. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed at the interior perimeter, but flush with the exterior perimeter. The ring is oval in cross-section. This mini terret is of a hybrid form and probably dates to the early Roman period.
This terret was found in association with Bronze Age, Iron Age and early Roman material, including four other terret rings, as listed below. The terret rings were recorded under the Treasure Act (2006 T187) but were declared 'not treasure' due to a lack of evidence to relate them together. The assemblage as a whole however indicates that the site is significant, perhaps as a religious or cult centre.
