Description: | Copper alloy bell that has a wide conical body, with a chamfered upper edge. On the top of the bell is a circular raised platform to which is mounted an octagonal loop, 11mm wide with an internal diameter of 4mm. On the inside of the bell is the remains of an iron loop which would have held the clapper. About 30% of the wall of the bell is truncated.A similar shaped example was found unstratified at Colchester (Crummy, 1983, 127) No.4165. However, a stratified example was discovered at Dragonby, which was discovered in association with other late Roman artefacts (May 1996, 281, 283, fig 11.29, no 134).
