Incomplete cast copper alloy small long brooch of early Early Medieval date (Anglo-Saxon). Only part of the head and a segment of the bow survive. The head is flat and plain in decoration and due to peripheral damage it is not possible to say whether the head would have been of trefoil (cruciform) or square-headed design when originally cast, although the present shape suggests trefoil as the more likely of the two. There are the remains of an integrally cast semi-circular lug on the reverse of the head for taking the, now missing, pin. The bow is arched and narrows towards the, n…

Incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch of Early Medieval date (Anglo-Saxon or Anglian in culture). The main frame of the brooch is complete, although the area (perhaps a constriction) where the pin would have rotated and the pin are missing, resulting in the brooch having the appearance of a penannular brooch. The brooch is circular, and semi-circular in cross-section. The frame measures c. 5.5mm in width and c. 3mm in thickness. The reverse is flat and undecorated, and the front is decorated with a series of incised transverse grooves. These grooves are arranged in four group…

An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch of medieval date. The brooch is sub-circular in plan having been misshapen, probably as a result of its deposition, and roughly half of the brooch is lost due to old and worn breaks. The frame is circular in cross-section with two oval expansions present. Both expansions are decorated with a cross-hatched design. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is worn. The remains of the brooch are 24.1mm long, 5.6mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weigh 3g. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, p.253, fig.163, no.1330 & 1333.

Cast copper alloy disc brooch of Roman date (80-250 AD). The brooch is broadly circular in plan. The front face is slightly relatively flat with a raised cast design and central cast hole (diameter: 1.9mm). Little remains of the upper surface due to corrosion and abrasion.

Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Trumpet type and of 1st to 2nd century AD date The brooch is near-complete, missing the spring and the chain-loop (with a length of 45.1mm, a depth of 18.9mm and a weight of 5.1g). The missing spring would have coiled around a single pierced lug on the rear of the head. Remnants of iron corrosion indicate that the axis bar was iron and suggest the spring may also have been iron. The head is near-circular (9.1mm wide) with the remnants of a broken chain-loop at the apex. The upper bow is of D-shaped section (6.6mm wide and 4.6mm thick at the head) …
