Description: | A probably Late Iron Age or Roman (200 BC - AD 410) copper alloy ring or bead, measuring 11.86mm in diameter (internal diameter 5.57mm) and weighing 2.38g. The ring/ bead is chunky and triangular in cross-section, being flat on the inside edge and max.5.71mm wide. Directly opposite to this widest part the ring/ bead is narrower, presumably through wear and/ or suspension, and 4.72mm wide.A ring of this size and chunkiness may not be much use as harness (where one might expect two places of wear) or other functionality (eg. for suspending a purse or keys), suggesting it may have had a decorative use as a bead. Cf. WILT-E56CF3
