An incomplete medieval circular, flat, copper alloy annular brooch, dating to the 13th century AD. It is missing its pin which would have been restricted by being held in a hole in the frame. The hole is now filled with some kind of dark residue. There are six shallow collets arranged equidistantly around the frame, now filled with a white paste. The frame itself is rough and abraded. It is 23.50mm in diameter and weighs 2.45g.
