A near complete cast copper alloy and iron sprung Birdlip type brooch of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date (c. 30-60 AD). The brooch is undoubtedly of Birdlip Type but is not well paralleled in Mackreth (2011) and appears to lack the typical upturned “beak/tongue”. The brooch is in good condition and nearly intact- the only missing element is the iron pin and spring mechanism, attested solely by iron corrosion product left on the lug. The now absent spring was secured by a single sturdy (3.3mm wide by 8.2mm long) perforated lug, now both partially covered and filled by iro…

An incomplete cast copper alloy Langton down brooch of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date (c. 25-60 AD). The brooch is likely of Mackreth Type LD 3a (2011, Pg.34, plate 20, No 6484).
