Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman lock pin. It has a conical head that measures 29.07mm in diameter with a concave upper surface and central conical projection. The projection has a flattened top with a small circular dot at its centre. One side of the head has been slightly flattened due to post-depositional damage. Below the head is a short cylindrical waist above a projecting disc-shaped collar that has a single central groove around its outer edge. From the centre of the base of the collar a rectangular sectioned iron shaft or pin is just visible, but this terminates in old breaks level with the surface of the collar, its precise form uncertain. The entire object measures 29.07mm in maximum diameter, 17.82mm in height, and weighs 41.91g.Similar examples of Roman lock pins are noted on the Portable Antiquities Database from Suffolk (see for example SF-4426B4, SF-2B10A5, SF-1FA287 and SF-9A5BA3) and from Roman Colchester (Crummy, 1983: no. 4143).
