Title
Late Iron Age/ Roman Terret ring
Description
English: A Late Iron Age (100 BC – AD 100) copper alloy Terret ring of Spratling’s (1972) group I, measuring 62.89x59.90mm (internal 52.44x48.60mm) and weighing 24.30g.

The upper part of the ring is circular in cross-section (4.81x5.36mm at the centre) and decorated with three longitudinal grooves and corresponding ribs on its outside edge (and smooth to the inside edge). The bar, which comprises c. one third of the terret ring, is bound on either side by a prominent double-collar moulding to the outside surface only (with a slight swelling on the inside surface). The bar between is flat and lozengiform in shape (max. 9.46x5.22mm), being triangular in cross-section at the centre (with a raised rib on the inside surface). It is c.43mm long.

Where the patina survives, it is smooth and shiny and brown-green in colour. However the surface is rather pitted.

The terret is of simple form corresponding to Spratling’s (1972) group I. The comparatively large size of the terret would suggest it may have been the central larger terret of the group. The lozenge-shaped bar may be seen as slightly unusual. Cf. NMGW-6E2371 on this database from the Vale of Glamorgan.
