Part of a copper alloy circular brooch which is Early Medieval in date. The brooch is a flat disc with a raised ropework rim. The front of the disc and the rim is gilt. It is broken and the surviving fragment is 18.3mm long, 12.9mm wide and 5.8mm thick. There is a hole in the centre of the disc through which fits a small copper alloy and undecorated rivet which has also survived. The reverse of the disc is plain copper alloy with a dark brown patina. A double pin lug survives but not the pin. The brooch probably dates from the Early Anglo-Saxon period.

A copper alloy brooch or mount dating from the ninth century. The object is a rectangular plaque with two lugs on the reverse. It measures 25.7mm long, 20mm wide and 8.5mm thick. The lugs on the reverse are widely spaced, and are not central. Unfortunately they are broken which makes it impossible to determine the function of this object. If both lugs had circular holes, the object could be a strap mount. However, if one also had a slot to the hole, it could have been used as a brooch, with the pin attached to one lug and slotting into the other as a catch. Since the lugs are closer t…

A copper alloy fragment probably from an early Cruciform brooch of the early Medieval period. The fragment is 19.6mm long, 9.77mm wide and 4.15mm thick. It weighs 4.04g. The terminal is a solid bar of copper alloy which is D shaped in section with a slight central ridge. One end is broken and the other end has understated zoomorphic moulding probably representing the nose and nostrils of a horse. The fragment looks like the foot terminal of early Cruciform brooches such as those illustrated in West 1998 and Hattatt's visual catalogue. If this is the case then the fragment probably dat…

A copper alloy cruciform Early Medieval brooch fragment. Only the foot of the brooch survives. The flat panel at the top if broken. The half round panel has two collars, then there is the horse head terminal. This has defined ears, bulbous eyes and comma shaped nostrils. The end of the brooch is broken, so there may have been a spatulate extension, but since the bottom of the nostrils look to be complete, this is unlikely. The reverse of the brooch is hollowed. It has a patchy green patina. The breaks are patinated. Cruciform brooches date from the 5th or 6th century.
