Treasure case: 2016 T1011
A brooch with a pin on reverse in an Anglo-Saxon style, possibly of gold plate or similar.
Dimensions:
Length: 46mm
Weigh:25mm
Thickness: 3-9mm
Weight: 10.82g
Discussion: After discussions with the curators at the British Museum, the brooch is likely a copy of an early medieval Celtic-style penannular brooch, and could even date to the 20th century.
Conclusion: Due to the find most likely dating to the 20th century, it is less than 300 years old and therefore falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
