A copper alloy fragment of a Roman Brooch of Hod Hill type, dating to the 1st Century AD. The object consists of most of the head, the side lugs and a small fragment of the top of the bow. The sub-triangular head terminates in a broken cylinder which would have been formed by rolling the metal back on itself (width 13.8mm). There are traces of iron staining here, suggestive of an iron axis bar. In this there is a slit for the pin, although both the pin and spring mechanism are missing. The plain head then narrows to a width of c.9mm to form the bow, the top of which is flanked two sid…

A fragment of a copper alloy Roman (AD c.43-c.100) Polden Hill brooch, missing its bow, foot, catchplate and the tip of its pin.
