A concentric groove and ridge surround the base of the conical projection; a band of similar grooves and ridges also extends around the inner surface of the rim of the dish, and there is an additional pair of grooves on its outer surface. A projecting collar marks the base of the head. Located at the centre of the object's underside, surrounded by iron corrosion, is the socket for the now-missing shaftDiameter: 19.6mm; length: 17.6mm; weight: 13.25g.Similar lock-pins have been found in excavations at Colchester (Crummy 1983: 124 - 125).
