Description: | A cast copper alloy terret ring, dating from the late Iron Age to early Roman period. The terret ring is incomplete with only about a quarter remaining; it has a sub-ovoid cross section. There is a small pair of lip-type mouldings protruding from the narrowing loop of the ring while at the opposite end is a larger ribbed platform protrusion that separates the main body of the terret from a smaller moulded section. In between the projections are two smnall sub-cicular depressions which would have once held enamel, now long lost. Terret rings of this type date from c. 100 BC to AD 43.
