An incomplete cast copper-alloy small long brooch of Early-medieval date, c. AD 450-550. Only the head and upper bow of the brooch survive in tact. The head is square in plan with seven (7) small perforations, one in each corner and one at the centre of three of the edges. The head is fairly worn around the edges so that only two perforations remain complete. The head is decorated with three incised lines, dividing the centre of the head from the perforated areas. Along the edges of the head is a series of short incised lines that run away from the head. Within the cell on t…

Copper alloy brooch. Cast long equal armed brooch (cf. PAS KENT-2479 [sic], which is held to cite an example as Thorle’s Group IIIc (3c). Triangular terminals terminate in a rounded knop at either end; a keeled concavo-convex mid bow lies between them, with ring and dot sparsely distributed on both terminals and bow, probably symmetrically, along with simpler stamped pits on the bow. A pair of U-shaped lugs behind one terminal represent a pin seat and the stub of a catch remains behind the other. A greyish cast may arise from a tin rich alloy or the use of base silver (cf. NLM-4D…

Copper alloy or base silver brooch. Cast ansate brooch with lozenge-shaped terminals with corner knops and flat central rhomboid panels [one terminal mostly lost], and a central keeled concavo-convex mid bow which confers a D-shaped profile.

Paired U-shaped lugs behind one terminal represent a pin seat and catch plate remains behind the other. The metal has a greyish tint which may point to the use of a tin-rich alloy or base silver.

Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast mid to lower bow and everted [damaged] foot, probably from a variant form of cruciform brooch. A rounded mid bow moulding appears from photographs [object not viewed by this reporter] to be of plano-convex rather than concavo-convex section. Discontinuous ribs or petals in two orders are placed at the top of a straight-sided terminal above a pair of horizontal ribs which themselves bear doubled incised line decoration. The chunky stub of a catch plate projects from behind the lower bow. Fiercely abraded, with spurs at top from loss of a putative head.…

Copper alloy and iron brooch. Cast cruciform brooch with a rectangular head plate with fully-round waisted and double collared top knob, with a mass of corrosion from the decay of an iron four-coiled sprung pin masking the lug on the back of the head upon which the pin was mounted. A plain concavo-convex mid-bow moulding protrudes below the head, possibly separated from it by stops, and a further three groups of horizontally incised lines appear on the lower bow. The lowermost forms the top of a zoomorphic horse head terminal with a central nasal bar dividing gently moulded protruding …

Copper alloy brooch. Cast narrow band annular brooch with closely-spaced ribbing on the display side of the band, with billeted or cross-cut zones restricted to the edges of the groups of ribbing dividing the plain zones between them, and retaining a collared copper alloy pin. The back of the band is plain. The narrow band annular is a form associated with the 'Final Phase' of furnished Anglo-Saxon burial. However, this seems a massy piece, and the source record queries the earliest possible dating so a slightly later date and possible Irish affinity might equally be considered…

Brown patinated copper alloy brooch fragment. Part of the footplate of a large Florid Cruciform brooch, very elaborately decorated. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-575. The possibility that this object may have been modified to achieve its present mass was considered [see notes below] - its mass equalling a Norse ora/ore, the contemporary [Viking Age, and underweight] version of an ounce. However, Dave Haldenby has kindly examined the object, and reports as follows: 'I found it to show typical plough damage, with no indications of chopping or cutting'. Its corres…
