Description: | Copper alloy probable toggle, likely dating to the Iron Age. The toggle is formed of a horizontal bar, hollow and circular in cross section with a circular loop located in the centre of the cross bar, projecting vertically. The loop is 'D' shaped in cross section, with a flat inner edge and rounding outer edge. The cross bar is incised with deep lines; three complete rings at one end of the bar and four complete rings at the other. The centre of the bar is incised with five incomplete rings, stopping short of joining and forming a blank space either side of loop. The cross bar is now filled with sediment and so it is unclear as to whether there was a bar running through the now voided area. The surface has a dark green-brown patination, with patches of brighter green across the loop.The toggle measures 21.3mm in width, 16.6mm in height and 7.3mm in diameter at the cross bar. It weighs 7.10g.The object is similar to SWYOR-535342 on this database, although it is longer than this example. It appears to be of Iron age or Roman date based on the appearance.
