Copper alloy Plate Brooch. Cast rectangular plate with a central drilled aperture of diameter 3.3mm. The aperture falls in the middle of an equal armed cross with very slightly flaring arms. The design comprises sunken fields, each arm being 2.1mm wide, each with a central cabled or billeted rib 1.2mm wide standing in relief. A sunken compartment circa 4mm square is set in each angle of the cross; two opposed compartments are empty, the other pair are filled by a ground of blue enamel with a central round field of white enamel and a central round dot of red enamel.

Copper alloy and iron brooch fragment. Cast trapezoid plate with a collared knop to either side of its wider end, the stub of an indeterminate feature loop above, and a flat lug on the back retaining the corroded stub of an iron pin or spring. The display face of the plate bears moulded vertical flutes converging towards its broken narrower end. Although a top loop and collared knops might usually denote a Roman brooch, the iron pin gear may suggest a later date. The form might alternatively ally this to the Continental series of Roman plate brooches. Suggested date: Unknown Roman to …

Copper alloy annular brooch. Cast narrow band annular brooch with a band which is beaded on its display side and flat on the back, retaining a cast collared pin which is looped around the frame. Rust staining of the surface is prominent on the display side though the object was tested with a magnet to confirm its non-ferrous nature. The narrow band annular brooch is a feature of later, generally late 6th to 7th-century, Early Anglo-Saxon furnished burials of adult women, though objects of much the same form enjoyed a renewed popularity in the high medieval period.

Copper alloy plate brooch. Cast discoid plate retaining paired lugs for a probably iron spring and an opposed catch plate. Extensive rust on the back may arise from decay of the pin and may incorporate mineral preserved textile traces. The front bears the bordered relict of a curvilinear design in which a reflective spot of enamel appears. This could perhaps suggest a brooch of Weetch type 18, c. AD800-900, though earlier plate brooches include the use of enamel in more symmetrical arrangements. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 100-1000 Diameter: 28.6mm, Thickness (pl…

Copper alloy brooch fragment. The lower part of a bow brooch with a concavo-convex mid-bow, with moulded borders or stops above and below, constricted lower bow with expanded square plate at its end. Most of a folded catch plate projects from behind the lower bow. Probably from a small cruciform or small long brooch, though its poor condition and some accompanying material might permit this to come from a late Roman brooch of uncertain form - the knee brooch series is perhaps the most likely candidate.

Copper alloy Brooch. Dolphin Brooch, cast bow with abraded ridges on its crest, surmounting enclosed tubular wings with apparently open ends. A bow of rounded section tapers towards the stub of a catch-plate. It is not clear whether the wings conceal a fine spring, or whether a hinged pin protruded from a slot in the underside of the wings. The bow is bent sharply above catch-plate and the brooch abraded overall. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-80. Length (as found): 28.02mm, Width (wings): 32.86mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 7.1mm, Weight: 14.47gms.

A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch. Behind the rectangular head is a tubular casting for a hinged pin mechanism. The slot in the centre reveals a copper alloy axis bar but the pin is completely missing. On the top of the head is the remains of a rearward claw. The sides of the wings are both decorated with a rectangular panel with two transverse lines at both ends. Inside the panel are two leaves in a V-shape formation. The area around the leaves may have once contained enamel, but is now plain. At the top of the bow is a circular head stud with a circle in the ce…

Copper alloy brooch. Fragment of a cast composite trumpet brooch derivative, as identified by finder. An expanded bow with circular concavity indicates a two-piece construction; the fastening mechanism (now lost) was presumably engaged with this hollow. The upper bow is modestly expanded, and narrows to meet a heavily moulded group of three ridges; with the second and third ridges separated by a deep trough, as a dramatic departure from the mid-bow acanthus leaf decoration of the usual trumpet brooch type. Below the third ridge, the bow assumes an unusual configuration which appears q…

Copper alloy possible brooch fragment. Cast and curving strip with a ridge on its convex surface, possibly slightly expanded at its ends if this does not arise from its breakage in antiquity. This may derive from the bow of a small Romano-British brooch, for example a 1st-century strip bow brooch such as the Hod Hill, Langton Down or Aucissa types, though other identifications are equally possible. Heavily abraded. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-80. Length: 18.7mm, Width: 7.06mm, Thickness: 2mm, Weight: 1.09gms.

Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast T-shaped Brooch, with a moulded head with slot for pin, side lugs or vestigial wings, and reeding extending from the wings down along the bow as appears on Langton Down and some Hod Hill forms; however, the square-section bow is atypically thick. The catch-plate is pierced with a round hole of diameter 3.4mm, and four slightly smaller lateral perforations have been drilled through the bow, presumably for modification or adaptation of the fastening mechanism. The brooch has partially broken at the uppermost of these perforations. This is one of a numb…

Copper alloy brooch. Cast bow and fantail brooch. Tubular wings retain the axis bar for a hinged pin (lost), and are surmounted by the stub of a loop. A thin bow, perhaps straightened by post-deposition damage, broadens to form a fantail with a broken back scroll and lozenge motif; this would be apt to retain enamel, though no trace of colorant remains. A parallel is published from Owmby, Lincolnshire (Hattatt 1987, no. 815), and others have recently been reported. The stub of a catch-plate remains on the reverse.
