A copper alloy brooch of late Iron Age or Roman date; a penannular brooch of Fowler's type D.

Most of the pin is missing. Compare NARC-B1CF06 and NMS-823171 and see "The Origins and Development of the Penannular Brooch in Europe" by Fowler, in the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1960 for dating. The brooch measures 32.75mm in diameter, 1.95mm in thickness and weighs 3.26g. The frame is corroded and much of the green patina is missing.
