An incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch (small-long) of early medieval date (c. 480-550 AD). Description: The brooch remains as the foot and the bow of the brooch, with only only the head missing. The bow is curved in profile and detatched from the head by way of a transverse break. It meets the flat panel of the foot at a raised collar with side indentations. The flat panel is T-shaped with side lapets at the top. These are worn on their edges so their original shape is uncertain. The flat panel is divded from the terminal by 3 transverse ridges, the centre ridge taller…

An incomplete Early Medieval copper-alloy ansate brooch dating to circa AD 700-1000. Roughly 60% of the piece survives with part of the body and one terminal missing.

The element beneath contains a median arris either side of which are opposed ring and dots. The extant terminal now terminates in old breaks so it is unclear precisely which shape the terminal would have taken, making typological …

A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) probable small-long brooch. Only the foot of the brooch survives. This is an expanded patulate or axe-shape with inwards curving sides and outwards curving lower edge. There is a break where it probably attached to the brooch. There is no evidence of decoration, but the edges are damaged and corroded. This style of foot appears on several forms of small-long brooch (and on the later Anglian equal-arm brooch, but these are less common). Penn and Brugmann (2007) place the small-long brooches within their phas…
