Description: | A complete silver annular brooch with attached pin in situ. The frame is circular and measures 16.7mm in external diameter and 11.2mm in internal diameter. One face of the frame has what appears to be an inscription, in Roman lettering, what it says is not clear. The other face of the frame has repetative incised crosses with roughly oval shapes with central indented circles. There is a pin constriction rectangular in shape measuring 2.5mm in length. The silver pin is attached to this via an open loop. There is a transverse moulding where the loop joins the pin shaft. The pin has faceted sides, is 16.6mm in length and tapers to a sharp point. This brooch will be examined in more detail by the British Museum under the Treasure Act, it is most likely to be medieval and 13th to 15th century in date.
