Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy object, possibly a bracelet. The piece is a strip, curved in plan and D-shaped in section with a flat inner side and convex outer. It widens gradually and consistently from one end where there is an old break to the other which appears to end in an original squared off terminal. A lump of iron corrosion on the outer side near the complete terminal may be the result of being near an iron object int he ground or iron pan build up. It is 43.8mm long, 11.2mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 6.34 grams.While the curve and form would be appropriate to a bracelet it is very plain with none of the decoration usually seen on Roman bracelets and therefore other interpretations, such as a binding strip, handle or brooch, cannot be ruled out.
