Description: | A copper alloy protected-loop skirted terret. The oval loop for the reins sits on a concave-sided rectangular collar at the apex of an angular facetted triangular skirt with terminal knops, that comes down to the front and back to cover an oval-sectioned rectangular attachment loop, with the loop projecting to form 'horns' on both sides. Other terrets of this type are known from Norfolk, e.g. from Tattersett (HER 31569). Protected loop terrets are usually considered to be Roman, dating to the late first and second centuries AD.
