Description: | A complete green glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is slightly sub-spherical in shape, with one slightly flattened end. It has a central hole with a diameter of 2.4mm and was made by trailing glass round a metal rod. The bead is made of translucent bright green glass within which a number of air bubbles are visible. The bead has a shiny surface although it is covered with many shallow scratches. The colour and shape of this bead may suggest that it is Post Medieval to modern in date, but as beads were made in the same way from the Iron Age onwards, they are extremely difficult to date.
