Description: | A Late Iron Age or Early Roman linch pin foot fitting. The fitting is iron with a thin sheath of copper alloy covering the end. The end of the fitting is flared and slightly dished, rising in the centre to a small, rounded knob. The shaft of the fitting is circular and has broken off just behind the head. The copper sheathing has a dark brown patina. It is 18.4mm in diameter and 17.5mm long. It weighs 12.86gm. This example is a little smaller than others on the database. There is no close parallel on the database but similar examples are SUSS-89C1D7, BH-CE4A95 and a more complete and ornate example is COOK-527973.
