Description: | Late Iron Age/ early Roman toggle.It is sub-circular in cross section, with a flattened upper edge. From this upper edge comes a small rounded attachment loop in the centre. In plan it appears like two hour-glass shapes connected at the bases. The central section is widened and has two raised bands. It then narrows, and is slightly concave, before widening slightly to raised rounded terminals.These items are likely to have fulfilled a similar function as the button and loop fasteners which they preceded, being used for horse harness and human clothing.
