A complete or near complete copper alloy Late La Tène (Type III) brooch of Iron Age date (c.50 BC to 50 AD). Probably Nauheim derivative type. The spring consists of four coils, two either side of the top of the bow and joined by an internal chord. The two pin side coils are slightly larger and project higher than the other half of the spring. The pin is bent and missing the majority of its length. The very head of bow has shoulders, where the metal constricts to form the spring. The bow is sharply curved, and a flattened plano-convex in cross section, having a slightly convex o…

Iron Age copper alloy enamelled fragment, probably from a terret with triple projections of 1st – early 2nd century AD date. The probable terret was cast and is fragmentary with a section of hoop and a single projection of an oval enamelled setting remaining (with a surviving length of 27.0mm and a weight of 7.1g). The hoop is oval sectioned and widens slightly towards the projection (with a width of 5.9mm – 7.7mm and a thickness of 3.4mm – 4.1mm). The interior of the hoop has heavy wear facets and if the curve was regular, suggests a diameter of approximately 4…
