Description: | Copper alloy wire object with one coiled terminal, probably a small penannular brooch. The secon terminal and pin are missing, and the ring is bent. The ring is circular is section, 1.2mm in diameter, and flattenedto form the terminal loop (which is 2mm across). The surviving shape suggests an original diameter for the brooch of less than 20mm. This type of brooch is found in the Iron Age and both ear;ly and late Roman contexts; a similar small example from Camulodunum (Hawkes and Hull 1947 p.327 Fig 59 no.2) provides an early Roman parallel.
