An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch, a Colchester one piece type, dating the object to the 1st century AD. The pin of the brooch is missing, as is the spring and a fragment of the forward chord hook. The wings are short, coming to a point at either end. The bow is uniform in size, with a circular cross-section except for the bottom where it tapers to a point. Down the centre of the bow are two rows of thin incised lines and on the interior of the catchplate, there are two rows of punched small lines, one along the line of the bow and one along the top of the catchplate. The brooch is in fair condition, with a green patina covering the surface, some small spots of chalky green deterioration and some red/brown patina, particularly on the catchplate. The bow measures 13.88mm in length, 15.29mm in width, 3.57mm thick and weighs 4.05 grams. See find number BH-098643 for an example.

A copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative, rear hook brooch with a spring mechanism (now missing), dating from 43 - 65 AD. The brooch has wide semi-tubular wings which would have held the missing spring and pin. They are open at the back and one end of one wing is missing. A broken chord or loop projects from the top of the bow. The bow is D shaped in section and is humped. It tapers towards the foot, but the foot itself is missing with an old patinated break. The foot of the bow probably tapered to a point. Behind the lower bow is the remains of a catchplate. The brooch has a grey green patina, and the upper half of the bow is corroded.

A copper alloy Roman plate brooch of skeuomorphic design in the shape of a shoe, slipper, boot or sandal. The brooch is flat and in plan is pointed at one end, has a narrow waist in the middle and is rounded at the other end. There is a broken loop at the rounded end. On the reverse of the brooch is a double pin lug at the rounded end, with the hinge part of a copper alloy pin surviving between them, held by a copper alloy axis bar; and a damaged catchplate at the pointed end. The reverse of the brooch has a rich green patina with some pitting. The front is decorated with a field of dark blue enamel with four empty circular spaces, which probably contained enamel of a different colour. The enamel is missing across the centre of the brooch where it has been damaged, revealing a white paste like material beneath.
Compare number 606 on page 358 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue. The brooch dates from the 2nd century AD. Compare also SWYOR-BF7E26, NLM2717, NLM-8BC157, YORYM-043FD0, WILT-354B08, NLM368, IOW-F9AD24, IOW-70FE55 and NCL-26CDA0. Snape (1993) notes that "They are decorated with spots of enamel to represent hobnails" and that "Sandal brooches may represent the left or the right foot, and may have a rounded or pointed toe. The type is found in Britain and on the Continent". On this example it is probably a right foot which is depicted.

It is reported that this object was found in a group of 4 brooches and 3 coins all found within the same hole of about 30cm square. These objects are: SWYOR-F28C88, SWYOR-F32625, SWYOR-F35167, SWYOR-F37324, SWYOR-754FE3 and SWYOR-7507B5.
As the dates of the objects and coins are quite variable, they are not considered likely to be a hoard, but it is possible that post-deposition activity caused them all to collect in the same area. This field has produced many other Roman finds too.

A copper alloy Roman brooch; type uncertain owing to corrosion and damage, but probably dating from the 1st Century AD, perhaps a Colchester derivative.
The head of the brooch and the pin are missing. The bow is narrow and oval in section, wider at the top and tapering to a point at the foot. There is a possible decorative panel on the top part of the surviving bow, but this could also be corrosion. The break at the top of the bow is ancient. There is no evidence of a catchplate, but the foot of the bow is rolled into a tiny loop. It is not clear whether this is damage or intentional. The brooch is brown with pitting and areas of turquoise corrosion.

A copper alloy Late Iron Age to Roman brooch, a Nauheim derivative dating from 25 - 100 AD. The brooch pin and half of the spring are missing. The top of the bow tapers and coils forwards to form the spring of which one and a half turns remain. The bow is sub triangular in plan, with shoulders near the top, tapering above and below to the spring and the foot. The bow is flat and rectangular in section. The front is decorated with four raised longitudinal lines. The centre two are vertical, and the outer two follow the shape of the edge of the bow. When the bow tapers so they are all close near the foot, they join and the bow continues to the foot with a raised centre. The foot of the bow tapers to a point. Behind is a triangular catchplate which is solid. The turnover is missing. File marks can be seen on the reverse of the bow where the original patina is missing. The brooch has a smooth yellow green patina with a surface layer of golden brown surviving in places. Compare number 738 on page 290 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue. According to the PAS Roman Brooch training notes, this type of brooch is generally found in South and East England.

A small, cast copper-alloy annular brooch of medieval date (about the 13th century
AD
). It is broadly square (with rounded corners) in form. It is formed of seven oval lobes flanked by moulded transverse ridges connected together (and integral) to form the frame. The frame has a D shaped cross section: the upper surface is domed and the lower surface is flat. Located between two of the lobes is a pin constriction with the remains of a copper alloy pin looped round it. There is no evidence of a pin rest. The surface of the brooch is corroded and pitted. It has a green and brown patina. Compare

A copper alloy Roman brooch, a Dolphin type dating from 55 - 100 AD with distinctive notches across the upper bow. The wings are tubular to hold the axis bar for the hinge pin which is missing apart from the very top. The humped bow is oval in section. It is decorated with a groove along each side, and tapers to a point at the foot. The upper bow has three wide notches across the bow. It has been suggested by a local finder that these notches are a characteristic of dolphin brooches from North Lincolnshire. Other examples include NLM-11DA12, NLM-7AAD80,
NLM-E59C77, NLM-06BB85 and NLM BFF825. The lower bow is decorated with a central ridge along the bow which is crossed by incised lines to give a beaded effect. The pointed foot projects forwards slightly and has a double collar. The catchplate has lost its turnover, and is positioned behind the foot and extreme lower bow only. The brooch has a smooth dark brown patina.

A fragment of a late Iron Age to Early Roman, cast copper alloy brooch of the Birdlip type, dating from 50BC-50AD. Only the central part of the brooch remains, the top of the bow, the pin and the foot are missing and only a small part of the catchplate survives. The remaining portion of the upper part of the bow is triangular in section. Just below the break at the top is a semicircular collar, divided into two by a transverse groove. The lower part of the collar is wider than the upper part and is stepped. Below this is a constriction then a single moulded beak projecting forwards. A raised ridge then runs along the centre of the bow, which is otherwise undecorated. The remaining part of the catch plate starts behind the lower part of the collar and forms a ridge before expanding into a wider openwork plate. The fragment is 23.9mm long, 9.8mm wide and 9.3mm thick. It weighs 2.59gm.
Similar brooches are illustrated in Hattat, 2000, Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, figure 154.

A cast copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. The brooch frame is hexagonal and has six forward projecting conical collets. The frame is shaped to the collets. The collets are equally spaced and integral. The settings are empty but still contain a white paste (possibly calcium carbonate) which would have held a stone in place. A pin constriction survives between two of the collets but the pin is missing. The metal is a mid greenish-grey colour, suggesting a white metal coating. A similar brooch can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p249, Fig: 160. Compare also

A copper alloy Roman gilded disc brooch. The brooch is circular and divided into three zones by bold concentric ribs The central rib is raised higher than the others. This form of brooch usually contains a conical glass setting within the raised rib, but this is missing on this example, leaving an empty cell. The outer two zones are decorated with a pattern of alternate Xs and vertical lines. A lug and catchplate are present on the reverse. The catchplate turnover is missing, and the perforation in the lug is filled with iron corrosion indicating that the missing pin was iron. Gilding survives in places, particularly in the two outer zones. This type of brooch can be dated to the third and early fourth centuries. Compare LIN-8EF102 which cites Butcher and Bayley, 2004, no. 390, "who discuss the distribution and dating of this 'British' type of brooch".

An unusual copper alloy Roman brooch. It is a bow brooch, but very short, and has mouldings which are suggestive of both fly brooches and phallic symbols. It may be a trumpet headed variety, but the head is very thick and rounded, and is not a clear trumpet mouth. The head is decorated with an arched line which divides the plain area above from a stippled area below. There is a transverse concave groove across the top of the bow, and the rest of the bow is decorated with curved lines which are far apart at the top, and close together at the base. The area between the lines is stippled and the outer areas are plain. These lines have the appearance of insect wings folded over the fly's body. The foot is bulbous. This makes it look a little like a phallus. The bow is a rounded rectangle in section. Behind the foot is a wide projecting tab which was presumably the catchplate, though no catch survives. The edges are rounded and worn making it impossible to tell if there are breaks. Behind the head is a tubular housing holding an iron axis bar and the hinge part of an iron pin. The rest of the pin does not survive. A close parallel for this unusual small brooch has not yet been found, but the similarity to both fly brooches and phallic brooches suggest a second century date.

Part of a cast copper alloy, Anglo Saxon, cruciform or small-long brooch dating from AD400-600. It consists of the bow and that part of the foot holding the catch plate. Both the upper and lower portions of the brooch have broken away in antiquity and are missing. Above the bow are two narrow, transverse grooves beneath a shallow semicircle of four inverted crescents. The bow itself is decorated with three lateral grooves running down the centre, bordered by punched crescents. Beneath the bow are two transverse grooves separated by a ridge marked with small, punched rectangles. There is then a flat section, on the reverse of which is the catch plate. This flat section has a central, transverse ride with a row of crescents above and a row of punched rectangles below.

An incomplete, cast copper alloy, Iron Age brooch, dating from 600-400BC. It has a strongly arched hollow bow; the sides of which are flat and the upper portion of which consists of two angled, flat facets that meet in a slight ridge at the top. At one end of the bow, and set at right angles to it, is a small, rectangular catch plate with a shallow, U shaped groove to take the pin. Above the catch plate, a short way up the bow, is a projection consisting of a single flat disc decorated with three concentric recessed rings. This disc probably originally joined to the base of the catchplate. The other end of the bow, the pin mount and the pin have broken away in antiquity and are missing. The brooch has a dark brown patina. It is 29.1mm long, 12.2mm wide and 22.3mm thick. It weighs 8.66gm.
Compare to SUSS-9A8068 and BERK-717093. These finds and the finder suggest that this brooch is a Hull and Hawkes type L variant. Hawkes and Hull call this type of brooch 'one of the British adaptations of Late Hallstatt Continental forms' and classify them as "British Late Hallstatt brooches with innovating features".
A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattat, 2000, Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, figure 146, number 1440.
