Description: | A copper-alloy toggle of Late Iron Age to early Roman date.The body of the toggle is barrel-shaped, having convex sides and flat, circular ends. Extending upwards, located centrally, is a sub-rectangular hanger. The surface of the body is decorated with closely-spaced horizontal grooves, and at each end, a pair of vertical grooves. The artefact is slightly damaged but is generally in good condition, with a dark brown surface and little wear or corrosion. It measures 20mm long, 17.8mm high and 10.1mm wide. The weight is 13.15g.There has hitherto been little study of this category of artefact. Such toggles are, however, likely to date from the first century BC to first century AD.
