status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or early Roman one-piece brooch of 'Nauheim derivative' La Tene III type (c. AD 25-c. 100). The bow is flat and tapers towards the foot of the brooch with the incomplete catch-plate. The bow is undecorated. The head of the brooch retains three of the four coils but the pin the missing. Nauheim derivative brooches are common in Britain during the Roman period and were probably manufactured in Britain as well as the Continent. Similar examples have been recorded in Bayley and Butcher (2004), page 54, fig. 37, and these have been dated to the 1st century AD.
