An incomplete Iron Age La Tène III type/ Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the period c. AD 10-100 (Plouviez period E).

The head was probably made of four coils of circular cross-section, two either side of the bow, but the internal coil that would have developed into the bow has been lost to an old break. The coils on the other side of the bow may have been squashed flat. When viewed head uppermost, the first coil to the left of the pin and …

An incomplete miniature developed T-shaped brooch dating to the Roman period, c. AD 100-150. The wings and upper bow survive. The wings are truncated, cylindrical in shape, and with a markedly thick, almost bulging appearance. At their terminals the axial bar is just visible, but the area of the hinge is badly marked by corrosion. In this area may also be the base of a headloop, as the area is so damaged it may represent a break. The bow rises gently from the wings, and its point of attachment with the bar is emphasised by two diagonal lines which flank the central bow, creating …
