Weight 7.84g.The head of the pin is globular and is 13.2mm in length with a maximum diameter of 11.5mm. The solid head has seven radiate grooves which spiral down from the apex in an anti-clockwise direction. There is no collar at the junction between the head and the shaft. The shaft is broken and the broken part is missing. The un-swollen shaft, which is sub-circular in cross-section with a maximum diameter of 3.2mm, has an overall length of about 30mm.
