Description: | An incomplete copper alloy terret ring dating, possibly Iron Age to Roman in date. It is damaged, with two old breaks in the hoop, nearly directly across from each other; one break is complete, and the other is incomplete, still joining a portion of the hoop. The hoop is oval in shape and sub rectangular in section. The two broken arms bend inwards. The top of the hoop has two broken projecting arms that project outwards, but curve, suggesting that it was attached to another, larger loop. The terret ring is in fair condition, with a dark green patina and red corrosion along the hoop. In its current state, it measures 36.9 mm L x 18.4 mm W and weighs 9.1 g.A similar object can be seen on the database KENT-7471A5
