Copper alloy fragment probably the remains of Iron Age to Roman bow brooch.The fragment consists of a thin (1.12mm thick), 50.24mm long strip of metal that tapers linearly in width to form a narrow triangle. The widest end curves over in a loop at the shoulder but there is no remnant of spring coils. The thinner terminal end is damaged and contorted but is probably the remains of the catchplate.
