Nice find as they are pretty rare, I recorded one I found some years ago in Berkshire with the FLO. Mine has different shape knob on the top and was described as 9th to 6thBC date and as I haven't managed the art of posting pictures it can be seen on NMWPA 2011.2.1 of the PAS the FLO has described it "as difficult to closely parallel in finds of the British Iron Age"
