The bow is D-shaped in cross-section and tapers to a short point at the tip due to heavy corrosion. The catch-plate is missing. Colchester brooches were in use during…

A fragment of a copper alloy Iron Age probable strap fitting. All that survives in one curving arm, which is D-shaped in cross-section and becomes slightly straighter towards one end. The outer edge of this arm is decorated with a longitudinal groove, which bifurcates at the more strongly curved end. Extending from the inner edge of this end is a short inwards curving bar. This is triangular in cross section, 16.mm in length, 3.9mm in width and 4.6mm in thickness. The surface of the metal has a shiny bright green patina and the breaks remain fresh. The fragment is likely to be part…

A incomplete copper alloy late Iron Age toggle fitting with red glass inlay. Only one terminal and part of the central section survive. The terminal is circular in cross-section, becoming slightly narrower towards its centre and expanding at either end. One face of the terminal is decorated with two opposed inwards curving triangular recesses, each bordered by a fine groove. A few devitrified and oxidised fragments of 'sealing wax' red glass inlay can be seen within both recesses. The central section is slightly wider than the outer end and has a large oval hole through its centre. Th…

An incomplete copper alloy Iron Age to Roman dropped-bar terret. The object consists of a larger oval loop with a smaller rectangular loop extending from one side. There is a gap between the two loops caused by wear from use. The oval loop has a slightly thickened, rounded outer edge and low raised ridges on both faces to either side of its inner edge. The rectangular loop is slightly narrower than the oval one. The surface of the metal is fairly corroded. Terrets were attached to yokes positioned across the backs of pairs of ponies, functioning as rein guides. Lewis (2015, 96, tab…

A complete silver Iron Age East Anglian Unit c.AD 10-40. 'Norfolk God' type. Haselgrove/Rudd Phase 8. Rudd writes 'the head an corn-ear were inspired by a Roman denarius of L.Roscius Fabatus, c.64 BC (Crawford 412/1). However, the styling of the hair and face, especially the mouth, may be derived from an early silver unit of Cunobelinus [ABC 2855]. If so, this would indicate that the Norfolk God type was issued no earlier than c.AD 10-15' (2010, 84). ABC 1567, VA 792, 794, BMC 3605-3759, Ev.16.8.

A fragment of a copper alloy Iron Age to early medieval penannular brooch. Just under half of the hoop survives. This tapers to a wedge-like point at one end, which is probably the remains of a broken reflexed terminal typically of Type D (or occasionally Type E). The hoop is oval in cross-section and its outer face is decorated with closely spaced transverse grooves creating an ribbed effect. It survives in good condition and the breaks are fresh. The fragment is likely to be part of a Type D penannular brooch, which were in use from the end of the 1st century BC to the 7th centur…

The upper bow is slightly curved in profile and the outer face is decorated with two rounded lips, curving outwards to either side of a narrow transverse ridge (the residual form of the full lion). It is worn and corroded…

An incomplete copper alloy Iron Age La Tene 1Ba brooch. Only the bow and the foot of the brooch survive. The bow is circular in cross-section and has a mid-arch.
