Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch which is a conical disc type. The brooch has a diameter of 24.4mm and is 14mm thick. It is a disc of copper alloy with a conical projecting from the centre of the front. The top of the projection is rounded, and has a small circular depression in the centre. There is a faint and worn incised line round the edge of the front of the disc. On the reverse are the worn remains of a single pin lug and catchplate. The pin does not survive. The brooch has a glossy grey green patina. It probably dates from 100 ?? 250 AD (Worrall, 2007, North Regional Newsletter).
