Late early-medieval cast Borre-style disc brooch, very corroded purplish metal with approximately half of the outer edge missing. Much of the decoration is damaged or obscured by corrosion. However, enough survives to show that it comprised a concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. The pin-lug is missing from the reverse on which a broken transverse catch-plate remains. There are no traces of a pin on the reverse of the brooch. Maximum diameter: >29mm. Weight: 4.52g.

The very worn and abraded cast copper-alloy head probably from an early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch (5th/6th century AD); the other possibility would be an X-form brooch. The head is rectangular (tending towards square), now with rounded corners. Central on one of the longer edges are the vestiges of the bow beginning to travel upwards. There is a possible transverse groove/ridge above this. From the same edge, but on the reverse surface and just off centre, is the highly abraded semi-circular pin lug (max. th.: 9.5mm). This appears to have broken through at the perforat…

Possible fantail foot from an Anglo-Saxon small long brooch. The brooch foot is flat, triangular and broken at the top. There is no decoration on the surface and no catchplate on the reverse. The absence of a catchplate makes this more likely to be Anglo-Saxon, since Roman bow and fantail brooches have catchplates on the reverse of the fantail.
