Finds from Wirral<\/h1>\n

IRON AGE Harness Fitting<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h1>\n
\n

One of our oldest finds late Iron Age to Roman 100BC to 200AD. <\/p>\n

An incomplete copper alloy harness fitting dating to the late Iron Age to Roman period (c.100BC – AD200).<\/p>\n

The terret is composed of a thick circular loop which is sub-oval in cross-section. The loop is incomplete with one terminating in a worn break and the other in a seemingly sharp, fresh break. Projecting from the top of the loop is a smaller integral rectangular shaped hoop which sits on an elongated oval collar. The terret has a mid-brown \/ green patina with some wear on the surface.<\/p>\n
