Description: | A copper alloy and iron object, possibly a linch pin terminal dating from the late Iron Age. The object is a corroded core of iron, with a copper alloy casing surviving in the middle. The casing is circular in section and in plan is a pointed knop separated from a rounded, bun-shaped knop by groove or waisted area. A double collar below is flanked by similar grooves. The iron core may suugest that this is part of a linch pin terminal, though it is not the typical form. A similar object is SWYOR-5135A4. Alternatively, this object could have a much later date and be a furniture fitting or decorative ferrule from another iron object.
