Description: | Headplate from a small-long brooch, with slightly worn break at or just above the start of the bow. The headplate is basically rectangular, 33 mm wide and 24 mm in surviving length, with a U-shaped cut-out in the lower edge either side of the bow and a long thin rectangular cut-out at the upper corners (one now damaged). The sides each have two border grooves but the top edge appears to be undecorated (it may be incomplete). There are six equal-sized circular motifs on the headplate, arranged in two rows of three; the outer ones in the upper row are perforations, and the other four are ring-and-dot motifs. On the reverse is a single pin bar lug, with the remains of an iron bar and spring with perhaps three coils to either side of the lug. Early Anglo-Saxon, 5th or 6th century AD.
