Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a key of Roman date. It has a rectangular shaft that is square in section with a projecting collar at its base. At the top of the fragment are the remains of a loop or bow that may originally have been oval or circular in form but is now mostly incomplete due to old breaks. Beneath the collar at the base the object terminates in old breaks where the remains of an iron shaft or bit are just visible. The entire object measures 19.17mm in length, 14.75mm in width, 10.65mm in thickness and 9.18g in weight. This is probably a fragment from a key that is missing its loop and bit due to old breaks. Similar keys are noted from Colchester (Crummy, 1983: p. 126) and might suggest a Roman date for the current example.
