Incomplete probably Late Iron Age to Early Roman brooch of uncertain type. The head has not survived. A round-sectioned tenon-like projection from the upper end of the bow is probably incomplete. It might have continued to form the spring and pin but there there is no evidence for wings. The rectangular-sectioned bow descends to a pointed foot and is decorated on the front face with two moulded longitudinal grooves which merge and then fade out before the foot. On the folded-over part of the solid catchplate there are eight transverse, probably moulded, grooves (cf.…

Copper alloy U-shaped loop, probably the high arch bow from an early (probably Adams type1) Iron Age brooch. The oval sectioned bow thickens and widens towards its centre with a straightening kick at both broken ends of the loop, indicating the bow survives complete; as such, the head and foot section of the brooch are missing from these old breaks. The bow has vestiges of decoration on the upper surface appearing to consist of low relief curvilinear chevrons reaching back towards the centre of the bow from oval features at either end. Circa 450-350 BC.

Copper-alloy probable bead of uncertain date. It is annular and broadly bi-convex. A hard concreted mass of sand, silt and perhaps clay fills the central hole and covers much of the outside surface. Nevertheless, a number of moulded circumferential ridges, grooves and channels are visible. There is a convex ridge running around the centre and another slightly wider and thicker convex ridge encircling the opening of the hole on one face. Between these are two step-like grooves separated by a flat band at an approximately 45-degree angle to the plane of the circumference. On the other s…
