Description: | A copper alloy pin, probably late Saxon in date. The pin head is onion shaped and is grooved. The head has a maximum diameter of 7.57mm. There is a small moulded collar where the head meets the shaft. The shaft is circular in section and tapers to a blunt point. The shaft's diameter is 2.35mm. The pin measures 51.4mm in length. Although the pin head has some characteristics of Roman pins, the collar is not a feature of pins of that period. Therefore, it is likely to date to the mid to late Saxon period.
