A fragment from a copper-alloy Rosette brooch of late Iron Age/early Roman date, AD c.25 - 60.

An incomplete gilded and silvered/ tinned copper alloy Roman 'composite gilded spoked disc' brooch, also known as a 'wheel' type and dating to c. AD 100-300.

Filling this border is a line of transverse incised lines, perhaps S-shapes, and corresponding raised areas between.

An incomplete early early-medieval (Anglo Saxon, c.450-550) gilded copper alloy saucer brooch, with incomplete edge, worn catchplate and attachment lug, and missing its pin.
