An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill type, of Roman date (AD 80-120).
The brooch consists of the head and wings and the upper part of the bow. The axis bar, spring, pin, foot and catch plate are missing. The wings are semi- cylindrical in plan with intact end caps which are pierced to hold the axis bar which is now missing. At the reverse of the head is a rectangular slot that would have housed the spring. At the head of the brooch in the centre is a pierced crest which has the partial remains of the spring.
The bow is broad where it meets the wings it then tapers to a damaged terminal. On the head of the brooch there are two grooves either side. The bow has a central moulded rib in light relief that extends approximately three quarters of the length of the bow. This has been damaged and some of the detail lost. On the bow on both sides are two incised vertical ribs that have small horizontal incisions across them. The brooch has a well-developed green to mid-green coloured patina.
The brooch is a Polden Hill type. There are many parallels recorded on the PAS database including; WMID-AD75A9 discovered in Warwickshire and WMID-F16F3C discovered in Staffordshire. Mackreth classifies this type as Group 48 with a pierced crest. Plate 53, No. 1936 or 1712 are close parallels for the form.
The brooch measures 32.2 mm in length, 32.9 mm in width across the wings, 6.2 mm thick at the head of the bow and weighs 12.3 grams.

An incomplete lead or lead alloy pilgrims ampulla dating from the medieval period; circa late 13th - late 15th century (AD 1250-1500).
The fragment consists of the lower rounded body of the ampulla. The neck of the ampulla is missing. On one face the object has been decorated with a series of emanating ribs that represent the scallop shell which is associated with the pilgrim site of St James of Compostela in Spain.
In the centre of the opposing face is a stamped capital letter 'S' with crown above. This is surrounded by a circle which contains a series of crossed lines to form a chequerboard design. The object has a cream coloured patina across all surfaces.
Spencer (1990) suggests that ampullae were used to contain holy water, as a souvenir of a pilgrimage and date to the 13th to 15th centuries. It has been suggested that many of these are found unconnected with religious sites (specifically in East Anglia) and it is thought that they could have been used and discarded in a religious ceremony to bless the fields. The scallop design was the emblem of St. James the Greater from the 12th century, but became the generic symbol of pilgrimage itself, therefore representing all pilgrim saints and for all pilgrims (Spencer, 1990, 41). Ampullae are often found in rural areas which may reflect the folk practice such as burying the ampulla in fields to protect crops and livestock from illness (Spencer, 1990, 205). Similar examples can also be found illustrated in Spencer (1990: p.40).
The fragment measures, 22.6 mm in height, 29.9 mm in width, 4.4 mm in thickness and weighs 10.2 grams
