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…

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 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…

Copper alloy and iron brooch fragment. Cast plain straight-sided bow of thickness 2.1mm with a stop at its upper end. Above this rises a half-round knob of two graduated stages with a collar and constriction between them. Behind the base of the knob, paired U-shaped lugs retain the iron stub of a pin. The main part of the bow stands proud of lower narrow edges, and has a further rectangular panel, possibly applied, set centrally at the apex of its curve. The bow is broken at the return of its curve and the pointed stub is smoothed by wear. A series of juxtaposed circular stamps runs d…

Lead alloy possible brooch. Hollow cast model apparently representing the head and bow of an Early Roman bow brooch at 1:1 scale. The types intended might include versions of a hinged Colchester Derivative brooch (e.g. Mackreth type CD H 10.e.) with an especially wide and fluted crest to its bow. The fluted bow also recalls the Langton down brooches. An axis bar appears to protrude from the ends of a widened fluted head whose decoration is continuous with that of a bow of hollow D section. As presented, the object lacks mechanical strength and, in this case, a hinged pin or spring to …

The find consists of a disc of copper alloy overlaid by a thick, embossed sheet of silver decorated with raised triangles radiating round a central boss and interspersed with ladder-pattern strips. There is a pierced circular lobe on the edge above the end of the hinge for the pin. The overlay is folded round the sides of the brooch and the back is tinned. The central boss and one or two of the triangles have been crushed in antiquity. D.: 41 mm Wt.: 19.34g Date. Uncertain, but more than 300 years old. Although the brooch has some similarities with Roman plate brooches, it is muc…
