Description: | A copper-alloy lock-pin head of Roman date.The upper portion of the head is dish-shaped, its central point marked by a truncated cone with a groove extending around the base. At the base of the dish-shaped portion there is a short, circular-sectioned projection which flares into a wider, circular terminal. On the outer surface a moulded rim and groove extend around the rim of the dish, with a second such moulding at its base. Iron corrosion from the pin is contained within a rectangular-sectioned hole on the head's underside, with further iron corrosion adhering to the outer surface of the object.Dimensions: 25.5mm diameter, 15.7mm long. Weight: 17.82g.Similar lock-pins have been found in excavations at Colchester (see Crummy 1983: 124-5). For other examples on the PAS database, see BH-2166E6 and BH-05F497.
