The brooch is slightly oval with a width of 20.7mm and a height of 18.4mm. The frame is of circular section and has a diameter of between 2.9 and 3.4mm.

There is the suggestion of an incised saltire cross surviving on one face of the terminal. The surface of the brooch has been lost and the copper alloy has a pale green patina. Areas of brown staining on the frame may be the result of iron corrosion, possibly from the pin. \r\nThe brooch is of Fowler\u2019s (1963, p 98-160)  Type G, Fowler outlines the problems in dating brooches of this type and suggests a wide date range from the 4th century through to the 8th century (ibid, p 107-9), although this example is likely to date to the 5th or 6th century.","notes":null,"old_findID":"NMGW-FF0EE5","id":"162570","objecttype":"Brooch","classification":"Penannular","subclass":"Type G","reuse":null,"created":"2007-03-08 11:27:14","broadperiod":"EARLY MEDIEVAL","updated":"2011-02-24 12:19:17","treasureID":null,"secwfstage":"4","secuid":"00145EFF31201B9B","findofnote":"1","objecttypecert":"1","datefound1":"2006-06-01","datefound2":null,"createdBy":"47","curr_loc":null,"inscription":null,"reason":null,"subsequentAction":"Returned to finder"}],"record":[{"id":"162570","old_findID":"NMGW-FF0EE5","uniqueID":"00145EFF31201B9B","objecttype":"Brooch","classification":"Penannular","subclass":"Type G","length":"18.4","height":null,"width":"20.7","thickness":null,"diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":"NMGWPA 2006.187","treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"EARLY MEDIEVAL","numdate1":"400","numdate2":"600","description":"Early Medieval copper alloy penannular brooch of Type G and of 5th to 6th century date\r\nThe brooch is incomplete, missing one terminal and the pin, and has a surviving weight of 3.0g.
