A copper-alloy fragment of a probable Roman bow brooch, a part of what appears to be th upper bow survives and the rest is missing due to old breaks. The fragment tapers at one end and has a D-shaped section, there are traces of worn longitudinal grooves and the wider end appears to be flaring into a cylindrical spring case. This brooch is therefore perhaps most likely to be a Langton Down type, although too litle survives to be sure. It measures 16.15mm in suriving length and 10.45mm in width.

A very worn and corroded fragment of a copper-alloy of a Roman bow brooch most similar to a rosette type, presumably a variant of this (Hattatt 1985, 44, fig 19, no. 286).

There is a projecting circular stud through the centre of the bow and faint traces of concentric moulded circles around this can be seen. It measures 21.11mm in length and 23.23mm in width.
