An incomplete copper alloy dragonesque brooch dating to the period AD 50 to 175. The brooch has the characteristic S-shape although the head and foot are now missing. The body is 27.6 mm long and 14.19 mm wide. There are traces of enamel on the body of the brooch in blue and yellow. The surface is quite damaged which makes interpreting the original layout difficult although it seems likely that this would have been a Hunter type A2 or A3. Dragonesque brooches are thought to be Romano-British due to the clear continuity in the indigenous style with Roman elements also apparent.
