Fragments of three medieval copper alloy framed brooches, all broken at both ends,13th - 14th century:
- circular, about 25% extant, five circular collets (diameter 4mm) including two truncated by breaks, all empty, evenly spaced with short length of narrower frame between them. Diameter c.30mm.
- circular or polygonal, two circular collets (one containing white fixative) with three drilled holes between them including one, which has pierced the metal, on a sub-triangular external projection. One break cuts across another drilled hole and the springing of another projection. Diameter or width uncertain.
- probably circular but badly distorted, four small ovoid (5 x 2mm) collets set transversely alternate with four pairs of very small (c.1mm diameter) circular collets, one of which contains blue possible glass. Diameter very approximately 30mm. One break cuts across a pin constriction.
