A lead alloy probable brooch fragment which is probably from the mid Early Medieval period. The fragment is a sub rectangular flat plate with one end rounded, and the other end broken with the majority of the brooch missing. The fragment is divided into two panels by a transverse raised bar. There seems to be a plain border round each panel, and interlace patterns within. The reverse is plain and flat apart from two lugs at the rounded end. These were probably originally pierced to hold the pin bar, but are now corroded and the bar and pin are missing. It is probably part of a middle S…

Fragment of a cast lead disc brooch decorated with two circumferential raised rings around its outer edge. The inner ring is linked to the centre by two surviving spoke-like ribs, the intersections being marked by pellets. There may have been another element in the design which reached the outer ring but this is damaged and incomplete. On the back of the brooch are the flattened remains of the spring fitting consisting of two rounded lugs through which are holes for the spring chord.

Late Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) lead alloy disc brooch, 38mm long, 28mm wide and 11mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition, with a portion missing and weighs 20.04g.

Oval plate with circular peripheral lugs (some missing), central, oval hollow-backed boss (false hog-back gem) surrounded by pellets. The plate is pierced at regular intervals around the central boss. No evidence of attachment rivets or pin on back. Rosie Weetch has identified this brooch as an example of her Type 25.B, which has been found on several sites in London as well as in Saltfleetby St Peter, Lincs (LIN-F70B24) and Dorset (DOR-B64CD1). The type appears to date to the late 10th or 11th century.

Fragment of lead-alloy nummular brooch. Just a tiny scrap of the edge survives, with relief decoration consisting of a border of ladder pattern, an inner border of pellets, and an inner field of geometrically intersecting straight lines. On the reverse is a transverse pin lug. These brooches are so called because they are ultimately derived from coins; the borders are imitating the filigree settings that were added to coins to make the originals. The fragment measures 22 x 13 mm; the brooch would originally have been about 40 mm in diameter.

The central flat panel of the brooch is openwork, comprising an irregular, tightly banded interlace pattern of probable animal parts. There are two triangular panels on the frame edge each containing three pellets. The edge of the central panel is beaded, as is the outer perimeter of the brooch. There are two integral D-shaped perforated lugs on the outer perimeter, perhaps for attachment; t…

An incomplete cast lead medieval brooch or badge. The circular badge has a beaded border around the edge, and was originally slightly convex, but now is almost completely flat. Inside the beaded edge the badge rises slightly up to a circular centre with openwork decoration. The decoration is similar to a wheel design, made up of two concentric circular bands of metal. Through the circles are four evenly spaced triangular plates in a cross formation. The points of the plates meet in the centre of the badge, and on each triangle are three pellets. In between each triangle is a narrow…
