A copper-alloy penannular brooch of Fowler type D, probably of Roman date. The oval brooch measures 46.1mm by 41.3mm and weighs 11.6g. It has a uniform flat oval cross section, around 5mm wide by 3mm thick. The terminals have been formed by folding the ends back on themselves once. Each terminal is decorated with incised linears, two long and two short, which form a back-to-front N-shape. There are also faint short incised linears equally-spaced around the outside of the front on the brooch. The pin is missing.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy pin of probable Middle early-medieval date. The end of the shaft has broken off and in its current state the pin measures 37mm in length and weighs 2.4g. It has a thirteen faceted polyhedral head with a stamped ring-and-dot motif on each of the four larger lozenge-shaped vertically-set sides. It has no collar and it may therefore possibly be of Roman rather than early-medieval date. However, the design is typically Middle Anglo-Saxon and there are close parallels from Hamwic (Hinton 1996, p. 22, nos. 4/2 and 169/1163).
