Description: | A shale bracelet fragment, probably dating from the Roman period. It is curved in profile and the surviving piece is about a quarter or less of the whole thing. It is decorated with longitudinal lines; grooves between raised rounded ridges. There is a wider ridge along the centre of the band, flanked by three smaller ridges on each side, but on the outer face, and a similar ridge along the side face of the bracelet on each side. On the inner face are two similar ridges on each outer edge of the inner face, and a slightly raised line along the centre. The bracelet is oval in cross section. The material is a fine grained soft stone, probably shale. Both ends are breaks. The broken surface is not as smooth as the finished surfaces. The bracelet fragment is 39.4mm long, 17.8mm wide and 7.6mm thick. 10.12g.Compare ESS-A9CF45 and a similar example (but with fewer ridges) illustrated as number 1559 on page 37 of Crummy 1983, described as an armlet.
