Description: | An incomplete lock pin of Roman date. Similar pins have been found in excavations at Colchester (see Crummy 1983: 124-5). For other examples on the PAS database, see BH-2166E6 and BH-05F497. The copper-alloy head of the pin would originally have been circular in plan but is now heavily damaged. A rim extends around the recessed upper surface. Extending from the middle of this surface is a truncated cone with a circular depression at the centre. At the back the head tapers (with a low step at one point) towards a deep groove, before widening into a circular socket. Attached to the base of this socket is part of the heavily corroded iron pin, which is of rectangular section. Patches of a white, mortar-like substance adhere at certain points on the surface.The artefact measures 38.6mm long, 32.5mm in diameter and weighs 52.63g.
