Description: | A small, complete red glass bead. The bead is sub-spherical with slightly flattened edges. It has a central with a diameter of 1.4mm and was probably made by trailing glass round a metal rod. The bead is made of opaque, bright red glass which has a number of small imperfections on its surface. The colour of this bead could suggest that it dates from the Post Medieval or Modern period, but glass beads were made in the same way from the Iron Age onwards and are thus extremely difficult to date.
