An incomplete cast lead disc or nummular brooch of late Anglo-Saxon date. Approximately one quarter of the brooch survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The surviving fragment is flat, with some post-depositional corrosion and was probably originally circular in form. On the back face is an integrally cast flat, rectangular catchplate that is now flattened against the back face of the brooch, the corresponding pin lug now missing due to old breaks. The front face of the plate has moulded decoration that may be considered broadly nummular in form although possibl…

A fragment from a cast lead object, perhaps a disc or nummular brooch of later Early-Medieval date. A fragment from one side of a flat circular plate survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It has decoration on its front face comprising a border containing multiple transverse ribs. Inside the border are two transverse lines with a large projecting pellet at their centre. Either side of the lines the front face has traces of additional moulded decoration but its precise form is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. The reverse is flat and undecorated. It measu…

An incomplete lead early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) disc brooch. Only a small fragment of the outer edge of the disc survives with a single looped lug projecting from the outer edge of the reverse. The outer face is decorated with a faint line of small raised pellets along the outer edge with two parallel lines of small incised squares behind this. The central design is unclear, making it difficult to assign the object to a specific tuype. The object has been bent slightly in profile, the surface is corroded and the breaks show little corrosion. With its flat profile and decorative bor…
