Description: | A copper-alloy toggle of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date.The upper part of the toggle comprises a circular-sectioned bar which terminates at either end in a disc with a boss at the centre of its outer surface. An inward-bowing arm angles downwards from either end of this bar, the two converging arms meeting at the base, where they extend into a short, vertical portion. An single groove separates this arm from a flattened-globular moulding. Width: 22mm; length: 18.4mm; thickness (basal moulding): 8.5mm; weight: 6.01g.The form of this toggle is unusual, but PAS record KENT-A4F836 from Chislet, Kent, provides a close parallel. A date of 2nd century BC to 1st century AD is suggested.
