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 …

Cast fragment from a flat plate with part of a relief design on its display face; three adjacent pellets of which one is larger than the others and a curved line above them with uncertain extensions and intersecting a cabled border.

An incomplete gold disc, possibly a disc brooch or mount. This fragment weighs 3.33g but includes the weight of some adhering mud. No full diameter survives, however the radius measures 17.4mm which would suggest a diameter of 34.8mm if this was indeed a circular artefact. The edge is serrated, each projection having a width of c.1.6mm, some segments seem to be missing and others reduced in length or bent over suggesting partial damage to the edge. At the base of these a strand of wire forms a border on the upper surface. The wire has a width of 0.8mm. It is uncertain due to the adher…

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.
