A fragment of silver Roman fibula of the mid or late first century AD was found on the same site, but is not believed to have been associated with the hoard. Cross-piece and upper bow of a small silver fibula. Even when complete, the brooch would have been no more than about 2cm in length. Impressed decoration consisting of two lines of raised zig-zag lines along the bow and encircling each side of the cross-piece. The fibula is a small example of the dolphin type, an early Roman form current in Britain in the middle of the first century AD and into the second half of the century. Repo…

A copper alloy Roman brooch fragment. It is the foot from a form such as a Rosette or Aesica brooch. It is a trapezoidal shape, with traces of incised lines forming a triangular pattern running from the presumed upper  terminal to the lower.

The edges are worn and the surface is pitted with corrosion. The fragment measures 16.26mm in surviving length, 17.13mm in width at its base, or lower terminal, and 10.46mm in width at the upper, and …
