Looks like a classic spiral-type bead. Is the finder willing to let Mike have a look at it as it's a type he's been working on. He'd be thrilled to have a closer look as the spiral beads are very difficult to make. Probably an Oldbury type bead, because of the spirals. Guido's Type 6, Oldbury and Colchester types. Lots found all over the place including Ireland as well as up to Yorkshire, I-A through Roman.
