Description: | Copper alloyTerret Ring fragment. Cast simple terret ring with a straight lentoid-section bar between plain collars of diameter 16.5mm (one lost); the ring tapers markedly in its thickness, being heaviest next to the collar and diminishing to a minimum diameter of only 4mm. The ring itself is heavily worn, and has broken opposite the bar; the bar may itself have acquired a keeled shape from heavier wear on its lower side. Though this object type relates to Celtic horse and chariot gear, most northern parallels for this object are associated with Roman material. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-200.Width: 41mm, Height: 52.8mm, Diameter (ring - maximum): 8.7mm, Weight: 26.19gms.
