Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Romano-British terret ring. The terret would have been oval when complete and the hoop is sub-oval in cross-section with a rectangular sectioned bar. The hoop is largely missing with the object terminating at each side just after the collar. The breaks appear to be ancient however as they are rounded however have been damaged recently probably due to the plough.The larger collar measures 11.26mm in length and 7.88mm in width. The other collar is smaller due to wear and damage. The bar is narrowed measures 8.07mm in length and is 4.77mm thick.The object has a dark blackish green patina where it remains on one side of the bar however the remaining surfaces are light green in colour, rough and corroded.Examples of similar terrets can be found in McGregor (1976), no. 108-110.
