Description: | A fragment of a Iron Age or Roman copper alloy possible terret dating to the period c. BC 100 - AD 100. The terret is circular in plan and broadly triangular in profile. The underside of the terret is concave. The depression in the underside is 14.81mm deep with an internal diameter of 22.05mm. In cross-section the terret features a central projection which tapers to its narrowest width of 6.87mm before widening out into a projection which is square in cross-section. The central projection is flanked by two smaller projections which are triangular in cross-section. These projections also project downwards into projections which are rectangular in cross-section, both of which display evidence of old breaks. The division between the body of the object and the three projections is marked by a semi-circular groove.It has also been suggested as a possible harness strap slide.
