Title
Glass bead of possible Roman or Early Medieval date
Description
English: Glass bead; Flat, circular bead of matt, transluscent, pale green glass. The bead is a thick disc with rounded edges and a very small, circular hole through the centre. It is not of an even thickness, narrowing towards one side (which would presumably be the top when the bead was strung as it would be lighter than the thicker side). The bead is polished smooth over its surface with a few chips missing from the narrower side.

Glass beads of this type are very difficult to date without a context, but I have suggested a late Roman or Early Medieval date, based on parallels recorded elsewhere with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (cf. LEIC-66C446, SWYOR-3BCBF4 and HAMP-B39335, for instance).
