Description: | Copper alloyBell. Cast conical open bell bearing a collared apical lug with an aperture of diameter 2.2mm for suspension. The mouth of the bell is slightly thickened. The finder suggests this form may indicate a Roman date, citing illustrations in Bennet's artefact guide. However, it is also comparable to that of conical or pyramidal harness bells of Viking Age date. The brown tint of the metal also resembles that of Early Medieval finds from the area. Suggested date: Probably Early Medieval, 850-1050.Diameter: 23.6mm, Height: 27.3mm, Thickness (at mouth/rim): 1.5mm, Weight: 8.26gms.
