A fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon brooch made from lead, probably a small square-headed brooch. Only the headplate and a small part of the upper bow survive. The bow is curved and the outer face is worn. The headplate is roughly square with a large raised outer border with decoration consisting of an inner border with two raised ribs internally. This may have continued down the bow but it is too worn and fragmentary to tell. To the reverse is a lug. This type of brooch would date from the 5th to 6th century AD. Compare SWYOR-1ED855.
