Copper alloy and iron brooch fragment. Cast half round side or top knob from a cruciform brooch, with a deep groove between the onion-ended terminal and the other end of the knob. Extensive ferrous corrosion indicates an iron pin attached this to the head of the brooch. The onion shape may suggest an earlier date or at least a broader than usual date range. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 450-600.
