A fragment of a copper-alloy probably Roman trumpet brooch. Only the head of the brooch survives. This has a depression in the centre of the reverse filled with heavy iron corrosion, but is otherwise heavily corroded. The outer face is slightly faceted and a small stub is all that remains of the bow. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded and the breaks are well worn.
