It comprises a flat band that is rectangular in form and has been folded into a band, one terminal end of the bracelet is preserved, the other is missing due to old breaks. The back face of the object is flat and undecorated but the front face is decorated. At the terminal end is a transverse band of pellets, then a transverse band of three ring and dot motifs, followed by another band of pellets. Around the remainder of the hoop is a central band of chevrons. It measures 9.78mm in height, 18.14mm in diameter, 1.84mm in thickness, and weighs 4.31g.It is similar to other published examples of bracelets (for example Crummy, 1983: no 1586) which would suggest a date in the 1st to 2nd century AD.
