Title |
Iron Age beaded torc |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete, cast copper alloy beaded torc (Type B), dating from the late Iron Age to the early Roman period, c. 100 BC - AD 200. Five 'beads' survive, originally forming the front piece of the torc. One terminal is hollow and the other end of the fragment is damaged, with a break possibly at the junction with another bead. Each bead has a raised central, rounded plain band, with a plain lower band to either side which curves down to form a waist between beads. There is some slight damage to two of the beads at the terminal end. Small deposits of iron corrosion can be seen at the surviving terminal end, possibly from deposition. The aperture of the hollow terminal is 5.2mm. The torc tapers down from a width of 14.2mm at the incomplete end to a width of 9.4mm at the terminal end. It is 57.4 mm in length, 14.2mm thick and weighs 26.81g.
For similar examples see Worrell, Iron Age Training Notes (2004, unpublished). Beaded torcs are generally limited to Northern England; they often have mortice and tenon style fastenings which are detachable to allow the torc to be taken off and put on. They are not closely datable (Worrell, 2004). In Celtic Art in Roman Britain (2008: 133), Hunter comments that finds of beaded torcs with associations confirm the first-second century AD date suggested by McGregor in Early Celtic Art in North Britain (1976).
