An incomplete copper-alloy disc brooch, probably of Romano-British date. The edge of the brooch is very irregular and as such it is not possible to determine whether any of the original edge of the brooch survives. This also means that the original diameter of the brooch is uncertain but it currently has a maximum diameter of 22.21mm. Although the brooch appears to be flat the upper surface is actually slightly shaped. Around the current edge is a slightly raised ridge c.3.80mm wide with a curved surface and this area has the remains of a white metal that has been applied to the surfa…
