Description: | A cast copper-alloy toggle of Iron Age to Roman date. It is cylindrical in form with large flaring conical terminals to each end. These have flat outer faces and are separated from the main body of the toggle by single moulded collars or ribs. At the top of the toggle is an integrally cast attachment loop that is semi-circular in form with an oval aperture. The entire object has a worn dark green/brown patina with areas of corrosion in places. It measures 23.61mm in width, 16.68mm in length/height, 13.76mm and 13.53mm in diameter at each end, and 8.92g in weight. This toggle is of later Iron Age to Roman date with numerous similar examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. SF-76ED01). It is likely to date to between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD.
