A copper-alloy unidentified object, it is circular in plan and slightly conical in shape, measuring 18mm in diameter and 11mm in thickness, at its centre which is its thickest point. There is a circular perforation through the centre of the object, measuring 4mm in diameter. On the back face this protrusion opens into a larger circular hole with a diameter of 8mm, it seems likely that this object was attached to another at this point. The front face of this object is decorated with a tripartite, most likely originally red, enameled design. JD Hill of the British Museum believes that t…

Copper alloy clip. Heavy hollow cast piece with an iron attachment, perhaps a shaft c.7mm across at one end. From this point it splays out to a maximum width of 25mm and splits into two 4mm thick flaps; one of these narrows to a blunt point and is possibly broken here, the other has a rounded end. Both sides have strong cast curvilinear decoration. The gap betweeen the two flaps is about 4mm and contains a corroded surface layer, probably a solder material and no continuation of the iron shaft. This gap is curved rather than straight, suggesting that it may have fitted over the rim of …

Incomplete La Tene III brooch, made from a single piece of copper alloy. The top of the bow, the spring and much of the pin survive but the foot and the tip of the pin are missing. The bow is flat and a maximum of 7 mm wide. It is decorated with a fine longitudinal groove down either side, but in between most of the surface has been corroded away and so no other decoration is visible. At the top of the bow it narrows to a rectangular section which is wound into a four-coil spring, with the chord passing under the spring. Longitudinal striations are visible on the coils. It then n…
