Description: | A Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper-alloy toggle.The artefact is complete and in good condition, its greenish-grey patination only broken by a few small patches of corrosion. The body is baluster-shaped, the distal ends of the two moulded sides flaring to discoidal terminals. A circular moulding with circumferential groove decorates the outer face of each of these terminals; an angular 'step' also extends around the inner edge of each terminal. The loop extends vertically upwards from the top of the artefact, straddling the two central mouldings. This loop is of circular section and extends to a rounded, slightly inclined, top.Length: 29.4mm; height: 20.8mm; width: 13.3mm. Weight: 22.87g.A similar toggle was found in a hoard of 1st century BC to 1st century AD metalwork at Camerton, Somerset (Jackson 1990: 40/Pl. 8, no. 87).
