A fragment of a copper-alloy florid cruciform brooch dating to the sixth century AD. The fragment measures 50mm in length, and a maximum of 28mm wide and 3mm thick.
Helen Geake comments: 'There is a parallel from Driffield in Martin 2015, pl. 29.1. It belongs to type 4.3.2 which appears to be a north eastern type. but as far as I can see the fragment of foot seems a bit bigger than the other fragment. A second fragment from Piercebridge may represent part of the same brooch (BM-484402) although it appears to originate from a slightly smaller example.'
