A copper alloy brooch of probable Medeival date. The brooch is circular in plan with 7 rounded knops aranged around the circumference. It appears that an eighth knop has been broken away. The circular brooch plate has a rounded rim surrounding an undecorated, slightly convext centre.There are some signs of gilding still remaining. The undecorated reverse has an incompete hinge lug through which the brooch would have been attatched. Given the shape of the brooch it is possible that it could be of an incomplete cloisonné enamelled brooch, which is missing its settings. A similar e…

Two separate pieces of an unidentified, lead alloy artefact, of uncertain date, probably AD 500 - 1800. It is possible that they are part of the head of an Early Medieval great square headed brooch, or a model for one, dating from AD 500 - 570. The two pieces do not join, and it is uncertain what shape it was originally. It seems most likely to have been a rectangular or square plaque. The reverse is plain and flat. The upper face is decorated in a geometric design, probably executed in cast relief. The break is patinated but not particularly worn. The larger piece is roughly squ…

Copper alloy annular brooch. Cast narrow band annular brooch with a band which is beaded on its display side and flat on the back, retaining a cast collared pin which is looped around the frame. Rust staining of the surface is prominent on the display side though the object was tested with a magnet to confirm its non-ferrous nature. The narrow band annular brooch is a feature of later, generally late 6th to 7th-century, Early Anglo-Saxon furnished burials of adult women, though objects of much the same form enjoyed a renewed popularity in the high medieval period.

Copper alloy possible brooch fragment. Cast terminal with a collared ball end set above or at one end of a slotted bar of width 8.2mm, the slot being 3mm wide. This resembles a side or top knob from a later Roman crossbow brooch or an early medieval cruciform brooch; in either case the slot on this object would be unexplained. The slotted bar continued for an uncertain further length; fiercely abraded. Helen Geake kindly suggests an alternative identification as an early Anglo-Saxon scabbard chape, commenting as follows: 'Is it one of these scabbard chapes of early AS date? common sha…

An incomplete gold disc, possibly a disc brooch or mount. This fragment weighs 3.33g but includes the weight of some adhering mud. No full diameter survives, however the radius measures 17.4mm which would suggest a diameter of 34.8mm if this was indeed a circular artefact. The edge is serrated, each projection having a width of c.1.6mm, some segments seem to be missing and others reduced in length or bent over suggesting partial damage to the edge. At the base of these a strand of wire forms a border on the upper surface. The wire has a width of 0.8mm. It is uncertain due to the adher…

Copper alloy plate brooch. Cast discoid plate retaining paired lugs for a probably iron spring and an opposed catch plate. Extensive rust on the back may arise from decay of the pin and may incorporate mineral preserved textile traces. The front bears the bordered relict of a curvilinear design in which a reflective spot of enamel appears. This could perhaps suggest a brooch of Weetch type 18, c. AD800-900, though earlier plate brooches include the use of enamel in more symmetrical arrangements. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 100-1000 Diameter: 28.6mm, Thickness (pl…

Copper alloy brooch fragment. The lower part of a bow brooch with a concavo-convex mid-bow, with moulded borders or stops above and below, constricted lower bow with expanded square plate at its end. Most of a folded catch plate projects from behind the lower bow. Probably from a small cruciform or small long brooch, though its poor condition and some accompanying material might permit this to come from a late Roman brooch of uncertain form - the knee brooch series is perhaps the most likely candidate.

Copper alloy bow brooch fragment. Cast sub-rectangular plate with opposed rounded lugs or lappets below it, and with two notches cut into one of its longer sides to give a localised saw-toothed effect; the lower bow tapers to a cross-shaped or knopped terminal. A folded catch plate remains behind the lower bow and foot. The plate bears horizontal grooves across the back of its upper part. The provision of a catch plate confirms this is part of a brooch while its overall form resembles that of a Roman Hod Hill brooch, though lacking any fluting or grooving of the display side and of unu…

Copper alloy disc brooch. A large plain disc with the stub of a small integrally cast loop at its edge; the loop coincides with the position of long paired U-shaped lugs on the back which retained a hinged pin; the stub of a small catch plate lies at the opposite edge of the plate. The lack of rust stains – a diagnostic trait for a brooch fastened with an iron pin – could suggest a Roman date, as might the length of the lugs at the pin seat [as discussed in the PAS Guide to brooches], though the disc form is more usually regarded as Anglo-Saxon. A Roman date is perhaps more…
