An early medieval disc or saucer brooch with a central circular hole. Around the hole, and within a double-line square frame, is a cast design composed of animals in Salin's Style I. On the back are the remains of an iron spring and pin and a scar of the missing catchplate. None of the edges of the brooch appears to be original. Helen Geake comments: This could have been a cast saucer brooch: the pin fittings are so close to the edge that there could easily be some of the base missing. Its rim has either sheared off completely in the plough soil (rims are often very thin at the bre…
