A fragment of a copper-alloy probably Roman trumpet brooch. Only the head of the brooch survives. This has a depression in the centre of the reverse filled with heavy iron corrosion, but is otherwise heavily corroded. The outer face is slightly faceted and a small stub is all that remains of the bow. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded and the breaks are well worn.
Without further parts of the brooch it is difficult to assign it to a specific sub-type and so only a general late first to mid-third century AD date is suggested.
