A catchplate fragment from a late Iron Age or early Roman conquest period brooch of continental origin. Justine Bayley comments: Catchplates of this type are unusual in Britain, but round perforations are found in a number of early-mid 1st-century types - so this is where I would date this piece. The attached image is from Almgren's book and is related to the Kräftig-profilierte type, the difference being the two (rather than one) buttons on the bow. Hull called it the Wallingford type (his T85) because he knew of an example from there. This catchplate almost certainly comes from…

A decorated copper alloy strip, probably a bow fragment of an Iron Age La Tene III 'Nauheim derivative' brooch (25-100AD). The strip is decorated with a line of rectangular stamps down the centre. However, the surviving piece is too small to be properly diagnostic and alternatively, it could possibly be part of a 3rd-4th century Roman bracelet. The copper alloy has a patchy pale green patina commensurate with the suggested date range. Dimensions: length: 36.21mm; width: 4.71mm; weight: 0.68g.
