Description: | Copper alloy disc, 26mm in diameter and 2mm thick. The suface has been punched six times with a circular (diam 9.8mm) object with a central hole (diam 2.8mm) to give a raised dot in circle design; five of the designs are arranged roughly symetrically within the disc, but one (later partially overstamped) is on the edge. The back of the disc is uneven - as if it was resting on an uneven base when punched. There is no trace of any attachment mechanism and so it is unlikely to be a brooch, although it could be a rather heavy and crude insert from one. It is also possible that it is a test piece. Undatable but probably not earlier than Late Saxon, quite likely post-medieval
