Description: | A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is ovate in plan with a circular section and a central perforation now filled with soil. The glass is a light blue colour with some minor bubbles and survives in good condition.The bead is 11mm in diameter, 12.8mm tall and weighs 2.2g.Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty without any supporting contextual evidence or diagnostic features and the method of manufacture has changed little over time. Therefore it is not possible to securely date this example and a range of Iron Age to Modern is suggested for similar types of glass bead.
