Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy fragment of unknown function and date. The fragment seems to be a looped terminal off set at 90 degrees on a sub-rectangular bar. The bar is broken near the terminal and the break is relatively recent and unpatinated. The rectangular bar is faceted being broadly D shaped in cross section. The looped terminal has a cast and slightly recessed hole through it; this is oval in shape and does not seem to be worn. No parallel of any form or date has yet been found. On the balance of probabilities the fragment is more likely to be Roman than any other date however due to its fragmentary nature a true date has not been found.The fragment measures 14.6mm length, 12.7mm width and is 9.8mm thick. It weighs 4.44 grams
