An incomplete Roman copper-alloy T-shaped brooch, probably of devolved type, incomplete in so far as it is missing the pin, leg and concomitant catch-plate. The brooch consists of cylindrical wings and flat integral headloop, with bow below. The wings are seemingly plain. The remains of the circular iron axis bar is visible at the tips, as well as in the form of corrosion product in the slot. No traces of the pin are obvious within the slot.
The bow projects from the front of the brooch in the centre of the head, in a steady arc that curves round through ninety degrees before travelling downwards to the foot. The leg has been lost to an old, slightly diagonal break. The bow tapers in width slightly to the break. The bow is 'D'-shaped in section with a flat back and shallowly convex front. The upper surface has a prominent, elongated triangular moulding at the front of the bow, just above the slot, in continuation of the rounded headloop which is perpendicular to it. The moulding is decorated at its front with an incised cross, after which are three deep transverse grooves. Between the grooves are two zones both decorated with cross-hatching. Beyond the grooves the moulding is slightly bevelled longitudinally; the incised lines that decorate it are just off transverse thus creating an effect of shallow chevrons. On the lower surface is a deep oval recess, apporoximate with the extent of the moulding.
The brooch has a dark-green patina which is in places obscured by the iron corrosion product from the axis bar.

Found at the same time as a hoard of 138 Roman bronze coins placed under a stone (Treasure case 2013 T73a). These coins, found scattered from the rest of the field, appear to be a mixture of Roman copper-alloy denominations dating from across most of the four centuries of Roman rule over Britain.
Age
All are of Roman date and therefore over 300 years old.
Metal content
They are all essentially base metal in composition (copper alloy).
From the same find?
This group of coins has the appearance of an accumulation of losses from different periods over the course of the second to fourth centuries AD. It spans a wider period than is likely for a hoard deposited in, say, the late fourth century and contains a mixture of denominations. The coins were therefore probably not deposited together as a hoard but instead form a series of technically separate finds as a result of random deposition over a period of time. As such, these coins do not appear to constitute Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 which require that coins must be from the same find.

A fragment from the head and upper bow of a Roman copper-alloy initial T-shaped brooch. Between the wings is a slot on the lower surface for a hinged pin, below which a sub oval recess. Aligned with the slot on the upper surface is a longitudinal ridge which is given a ridged, or serrated, quality by numerous transverse nicks. Just before an old transverse break two lower, finer ridges begin to flank the central one. At the head end another old break has removed any lateral elements from the wings, or any of the head located above.
The fragment curves in profile in a regular fashion through ninety degrees. It is corroded, with a variable mid-green patina. A brooch with similarly 'serrated' upper bow can be found illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 302; no. 394).

A fragment from the head and upper bow of a Roman copper-alloy bow brooch, possibly a Trumpet derivative. At the head is an abraded plate on the lower surface of which is a double semicircular pin lug. This latter has been perforated centrally to take an axis bar which was made of iron given the corrosion product around the lug. In places the plate has been broken right down to the lug; presumably it was once semicircular. The pin is missing.
The bow springs from the base of the head-plate and curves through ninety degrees such that it is parallel to the head-plate. The bow is of thin rectangular cross-section and is of convex construction. From the point at which it becomes parallel to the head-plate it has a flat top and is decorated centrally with a longitudinal ridge which is given a ridged, or serrated, quality by numerous transverse nicks. The bow has suffered an old diagonal break. The fragment has a fairly even mid-green patina.
