Description: | A complete cast copper alloy annular bead of uncertain date. The bead is pierced with an off-centre hole, approximately 5 mm in diameter, and D-shaped in cross section. The grey-green colour of the metal suggestions that the bead has a relatively high tin content. It measures 12.55 mm in diameter, 4.66 mm thick and weighs 2.88 grams.This particular bead has been found with a wealth of objects dating to the Roman period (c. 43-410 AD) and it is likely that this object dates to the Roman period. However, as these types of beads have been manufactured from the Bronze Age to the Post Medieval period a positive date is uncertain.
