Description: | Cast copper alloy open bell with a large flat circular suspension loop attached to the rounded top of the hemispherical bell. The lower edges of the hemisphere are irregular suggesting old breaks and the sides probably projected down into a cone. Iron corrosion on the inner side may be the remains of the clapper. It is 17.9mm tall, 8.5mm excluding the loop, 14.4mm in diameter and weighs 5.30 grams.It is more solidly made than the usual Early Medieval 'norse bells' and may be Roman in date. Crummy (1983:127, no.4165) illustrates a similar but slightly larger bell but with a comparatively smaller loop.
