A Romano-British dolphin brooch, possibly of the Polden Hill type. The brooch is relatively short (26.4mm), with 22.1mm wide wings housing a spring casing open at the rear. The brooch has a downwardly curving, typical dolphin style bow, which tapers gently to a blunt, rounded foot. The bow is decorated with reeding and zigzags, and there is a small stud at its apex.

Similarly, a single-pierced lug is pre…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Iron Age to early Roman brooch, probably of strip bow type, c. 1st century AD. The wings, neck and part of the bow are complete. It would appear the bow has broken off halfway down, and the footend, catchplate, hinge and pin are all missing. The pin would have been hinged in the narrow tube formed at the top of the bow, which was rolled backwards; the bow is a broad reeded sub-rectangular strip, which probably flared slightly near the foot although that portion is now missing. The brooch has a nearly flat profile below the slight angle at its head…

Incomplete copper alloy Roman knee brooch, missing its spring mechanism, pin, part of catchplate and end of one wing. Where the original patina survives, traces of tinning are visible. The incomplete wingspan is 15mm but would once have been c.18mm in length. The wings are tubular and C-shaped in profile. Part of the broken wing is bent upwards but this suggests the wing was more enclosed than a C-shaped profile. The ends of the wings are not enclosed as other knee brooches often are. The bow extends in an accentuated curve. It is rectangular in section and measures 8.1x3.6mm in …

On the reverse of the brooch the pin is missing, but the two lugs that would have held the spring remain in place.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman disc brooch. The plain circular face bears concentric bands of a hard substance which may be solder. The central area of the disc is free of this material, but has two indentations that are likely to be casting defects. Around the edge of the disc is a narrow groove. On the back of the plate are two lugs for a hinged pin mechanism and a catch plate, both of which are cast integrally with the disc. The pin is missing but was made of iron. The back of the disc is covered with file marks. The diameter of the disc is a constant 35.8mm, which suggests t…

Incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill style) brooch of Roman date (43-150AD). The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated wing / end caps.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped or Colchester derivative tapering bow brooch. The bow is D-shaped in section and tapers towards the missing foot.

The crest probably did not extend to the foot, which is missing, as the bosses flatten out towards the end of the broken bow, but it is too corroded to be sure. Most of the tubular wings and the lower part of the bow have corroded away. The backs of the …
