An incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age/ Early Roman La Tène III (AD 20-100) simple one-piece or Nauheim derivative type brooch. It consists of the top of the bow, the spring and chord (uncoiled a little) and bent pin. In length it now measures is 42.54mm. Weighs 2.9g.

The head consists of four spring coils either side of the top of thoe bow. Two have been pulled apart, probably from the pin being pulled (which extends from the innermost coil). The head measures 9.76mm wide. The coils and chord are circular in cross-section (c.2mm diameter). The pin extends to a sharp point and is bent to one side.

The bow is flat and rectangular in cross-section (4.29x0.90mm) and apparently plain (though rather worn). The bow survives to a length of 6.85mm and the break is old.

Class: La Tène III
