A cast copper alloy brooch of middle or late Anglo-Saxon date. The brooch is worn, and is flat and circular, measuring 31.5mm in diameter. The front is decorated with relief decoration in a cross design with a circular perforation in each angle; two of the edges of these perforations have worn away.

Copper-alloy small-long brooch, complete apart from the two side knobs. The headplate is basically rectangular, although to either side of each knob the edges are slightly concave. The only decoration consists of neatly made grooves at the base of each knob; there are four at the base of the surviving top knob, which is semi-circular. Both side knobs are missing (worn breaks), probably due to the grooves forming a weak point. On the reverse of the headplate is a single pin lug with extensive remains of the iron bar and spring. The bow has a flat panel at the top and bottom; the top…

An incomplete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, 47mm in length and 28mm in width. The head plate has a rectangular central panel defined by small oval incisions, one inside another. The knobs are integral and worn, although all three are present. The bow is curving and 17mm in length, and faceted at both of its ends. Below the bow the flat plate is decorated with transverse grooves and an incised cross shape. The rest of the foot is missing due to an old break. It seems likely from the appearance of the rest of the brooch that the missing terminal would have been i…

The copper-alloy head plate from an early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch. The head plate is rectangular in shape and has intergral crescent-shaped side and top knops, the top knob and one of the side knops are incomplete due to old breaks. The complete knop is bent, but without any stress to the metal; this implies that it may have been damaged by heat. This is important as it can support the idea that some cremation was taking place in the area where this brooch was found. The head plate has a slightly raised rectangular central panel. The top of the bow is present, and again the r…

A fragment of a copper-alloy early Anglo Saxon long brooch, either a cruciform or a small-long brooch. Only part of the top of the bow survives, with the rest of the brooch missing due to old breaks. The bow is 30mm in length and 13mm in width. It does not have a rectangular-section panel at the top, but instead meets the headplate still with a rounded cross-section. The junction between bow and headplate is marked by a double moulding around the convex end of the bow. This moulding is concave between the two ridges. A small fragment of the headplate still survives. This shap…

An incomplete copper-alloy horse-head terminal from an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. This brooch fragment is roughly rectangular in shape and measures 22mm in length and 15mm in width. On the front two parallel projecting globular knops are present, representing the horse's eyes; there is a longitudinal moulding down the centre of the nose. The fragment is curvilinear; the front face is convex and the back face concave. This warping is due to heat damage. This is important as it implies that some cremation was taking place on the likely cemetery site, where this fragment wa…

Gilded copper alloy brooch fragment. The 'knob' probably from the side of the head plate of a florid cruciform type in the form of a face mask. The back is flat.

The lower face is in the centre of a broader area with scrolls and curving segments (?moustache extensions) filling the space - the edges are abraded here, and especially around the flat terminal, which is probably near semi-circular.

A copper-alloy brooch of 'hub-cap' type. This brooch is circular in shape, measuring 22mm in diameter. It has a circumferential border of incised rocker-arm decoration. There are then seven evenly spaced circular indentations, each measuring 3mm in diameter. One of these indentations has corroded iron within and surrounding it, both on its front and back face; it is therefore possible that there was a perforation at this point, although what such a perforation could be for is not known. In the centre of this brooch there is a hollow cylindrical copper-alloy projection, measuring 6m…
