Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy pole-mounted and skirted terret. Roman terret mount measuring 39.44mm in surviving height. The circular loop, through which the rein would have passed, is complete. It has a roughly circular cross-section and is 5.85mm thick. The loop measures 25.68mm in external width and 16.38mm in internal width. There is a transverse moulding where the base of the loop meets the top of the flaring 'skirt.' The underside of the 'skirt'is hollow and covers the now all but missing very corroded iron loop. The 'skirt' measures 20.98mm in width. The height of the 'skirt' and the transverse moulding is 14.5mm. The skirt is incomplete due to wear.
