Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment of unknown attribution and date, possibly from the Iron Age to Early Medieval period. The top of the object is circular in shape and discoidal, with incised decoration comprising with three concentric rings and a central recessed 'dot'. There is a short shaft which is D-shaped in cross-section projecting from the bottom of the decorated disc.There appears to be a small casting sprue on another edge of the circular head or it may be a similar shaft as that described above, projecting perpendicular to the more complete one. The object measures 22.98mm long, 15.14 diameter of circular shape, 4.4mm diameter of stem. It is 4.4mm thick and weighs 5.7grams. The object has a dark green patina and the reverse face is undecorated. From remaining stylistic features and patina a possible date range of Iron Age to Early Medieval is suggested, however the object is unidentified and undiagnostic.
