Description: | Incomplete glass bead, ovoid in shape and in section as it has been split in half so that the central perforation can be seen to be very straight-sided and cylindrical in shape. The perforation is 6.9 mm long and 1.6 mm in diameter. The bead is cobalt blue in colour and opaque. Its shape and colour are typical of beads from the Roman and post-Roman period.Quinnell (2004) illustrates similar blue glass beads found at Trethurgy on page 92, fig.52, nos.19 & 21, which are dated from AD 325-375 and post AD 500 respectively.
