An incomplete, copper alloy brooch of likely early Medieval date (c. AD 420-550). Only the head remains. The surviving part of the head is roughly lozenge shaped with two roughly knop shaped broken protrusions on the right and bottom angles of the lozenge. Both of the lugs seem to survive on the bottom and potentially some of the spring, though this is uncertain due to it being quite corroded. There does not appear to be any surviving decoration on the brooch.

An incomplete, gilded copper alloy strip brooch of early Medieval date (c. AD 700-950). The bow is lozengiform in shape and is formed from a single piece consisting of a central wide, flattened, lozenge-shaped plate (1.58mm thick). One end was elongated to form a hooked catch-plate which is now missing. Instead one finds a slightly curved, oblique break that occurred in antiquity given the greenish brown patina of the site of the break. The opposite end of the brooch was elongated to form what is now an incomplete spring and pin (1.99mm thick) - it has broken before completing a single…
