A lead alloy composite disc brooch of probable Roman date. The brooch has a thin sheet of lead or tin alloy with a recessed concentric band of roulette-like decoration around a raised central circular field and a raised outer field and rim. There is no other decoration. This thin sheet has been applied to the lead alloy backing, the reverse of which has the remains of a raised lug or catch - its form is hard to interpret. No close parallel has been found, although it does bear some decorative similarities with Roman disc brooches, and applied disc brooches of this period are known …

A very worn and corroded copper-alloy object, possibly a Colchester type brooch of Roman date. It has a cylindrical body, tapering at one end (top?) to a curving and pointed hook, probably missing its tip due to old breaks.

There is no sign of any decoration or attachments, and all surfaces are pitted and extremely worn. It measures 64.90mm in length, 3.95mm in maximum diameter/thickness and 3.72g in weight.

Possible copper alloy plate from a brooch of uncertain type, possibly Roman The object comprises a fragmentary and distorted circular disc of sheet metal (with a maximum distorted diameter of 34.2mm, a thickness of 0.1mm and a weight of 2.4g). The rear has what appears to be an integral catch-plate adjacent to the edge (with a depth of 7.8mm and a length of 6.2mm).

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 …

An incomplete possible Roman (AD c.43-c.402) penannular brooch or possible medieval (AD c.1200-c.1500) annular brooch, missing part of its circumference and broken into two pieces.

Lead alloy possible brooch fragment. 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. Patinated overall. This fragmentary motif might derive at its earliest, from a Viking-Age plate brooch displaying Christian symbols; or a cheap medieval brooch; or a pilgrim badge of an indeterminate cult centre - oriented as illustrated, the eye of faith might discern Christ hanging on the cross to be the subject. Sugg…
