A cast copper alloy Roman dolphin style brooch, dating to the first century AD. The brooch is almost complete, missing only its pin. The bow is decorated with raised vertical ribs that run down the centre of the spine; the wings enclose the spring and are decorated with a single incised line at either end. The bow is slightly twisted towards the foot where the catch plate is retained intact. This brooch is similar to those illustrated in Hattatt (2000) nos 882 and 817.

A Roman (AD 200-410) copper alloy finger-ring of Henig Type IX (Guiraud type 9a), measuring 21.75mm in diameter (internal 18.80mm) and weighing 2.84g. The finger-ring is polygonal in profile with eight external facets (octagonal) and is circular internally. Each facet is rather worn, flat and plain and there is no sign of any surface treatment. Henig (1974, 50) suggests that polygonal rings are a third century type while Crummy (1983, 49, ref. 1788) notes that polygonal hoops tend to be fourth century in date. Johns (1997, 41) also suggests a slightly earlier, Middle Empire range.
