Unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a Romano British brooch fragment or a Post Medieval firearm trigger element. The object is mis-shapen due to being heat effected or concreted or miscast. Overall form and dimensions are suggestive of a Romano British brooch though the lower projection is possibly a little thick for a brooch bow or catchplate. There is also a resemblance to basic firearm triggers and the orientation is correct though the section above could be seen to be too 'chunky'. If it is a firearm trigger it is likely to predate the common usage of percussion ammunition.…
