Early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch made from cast copper alloy with the remains of an iron pin and spring on the reverse. The upper part (headplate) of the brooch is sub-square in plan. Although most of the edges are abraded the less abraded parts suggest that the this part of the brooch is nearly complete.
