Description: | A cast copper alloy annular loop. The loop is circular in plan, and circular in section. The surface is slightly abraded and has a heavy mid green patina. It measures 36.58mm diameter, 7.12mm thick and weighs 23.9g.The function of the loop is uncertain, it could be associated with a vessel or harness fitting. The patina perhaps suggests a late Iron Age, or more likely, a Roman date. Jackson illustrates similar rings or loops from Camerton (Jackson, R. 1990 Camerton: The Late Iron Age and Early Roman Metalwork, 49, nos. 150-162, pl, 14).
