Description: | An incomplete and very abraded cast copper-alloy object of uncertain form, probably dating to the Roman period or later It comprises an oval shaped bar that is oval shaped in section and terminates at one end in old breaks. At the opposite end of the bar is what appears to be an incomplete circular loop with central circular aperture, but this too terminates in old breaks. The surfaces of the object have traces of a dark brown patina but are very worn and corroded making close identification of the object problematic. It measures 39.31mm in length, 10.95mm in width (at bar, 15.59mm at loop), 7.78mm in thickness at bar, and weighs 11.70g.The precise form of this object remains uncertain. Associated finds might indicate a relatively early date in the Roman period for the object, however this remains uncertain and it could date to any point from the Roman period onwards.
