A copper alloy Roman brooch, possibly a tapering bow brooch. At the head two opposing wings remain, although they both appear to be slightly truncated at each end. While you can see where they would have sat, there is no trace of the pin or hinge. There is no evidence the brooch would have included a head-loop. From the head the bow tapers and curves sharply, before tapering further to a rounded point. The catch plate remains although this is truncated and damaged. The surface of the brooch is pitted, and no visible decoration remains.

An incomplete copper alloy bow brooch of Roman date. The head is sub-oval in form. The rear of the head contains a partial bar, and a hollow which would have held the spring or hinge.

The fragment of a copper-alloy object of uncertain function or date. The item is roughly ‘T’ shaped in form and sub-rectangular in cross section. The surface of the find is corroded and pitted. The find does bear a resemblance to the heavily truncated head of a Roman brooch, perhaps the head brooch stud (Group Q), characteristically stout and heavy (Collingwood & Richmond 1969, 296). However due to the condition of the object it is not possible to say with certainty.
