A fragment of a cast copper-alloy cruciform or small-long brooch. The brooch has a flat rectangular panel with a flat half-rounded knop on three sides. The bow is arched and broken at the base. The reverse of the headplate contains an integral pin-lug. The surface of the brooch is very worn and no decoration is visible. Because of its worn and fragmentary state it is hard to positively identify this brooch as either a cruciform or a small-long. The flatness of the head, though, suggests that it may be the latter. It is early Anglo-Saxon and dates to the sixth century AD.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy long brooch. The brooch is almost complete, lacking only the pin and a small portion of the ‘head’; the catchplate is also broken. The brooch is fairly basic in design, and not very symmetrical along its centre line. The head is decorated with pairs of lines along the edges of the ‘cross’; inside these lines are lines of V-shaped stamps; in the centre of the head may be the remains of a group of ring-and-dots. This brooch probably dates to the 7th or 8th century, and may represent a disturbed grave.

A cast copper alloy cruciform brooch of the 6th or 7th century. This is a fine piece, apparently well-made and in good condition. The brooch has a good dark green patina. The brooch was incomplete until recently, when the finders located the ‘head’.

The brooch is very regular in shape, and slightly convex in section through the body (the reverse is slightly hollow along its length). The head is a rough square, with decoration set in from the slightly concave si…
