Description: | Cast copper alloy circular bead, lozenged shaped in cross section with distinct carination in the centre of the inner and outer side. The external side is damaged and a large indent along the carination may be from a casting flaw. It is 13.3mm in external diameter and 5.3mm in internal diameter; it is 5.5mm thick and weighs 2.03 grams. Such plain items are hard to date accurately and cast copper alloy beads of this form are known from the Bronze Age onwards become more common in the Roman and Medieval periods.
