Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. Only a fragment of one of the wings of the headplate and a side knob now survive; the rest of this brooch is missing and the breaks are worn. The fragment measures 17mm in length and 22.8mm in width. The knob is of the flattened half-round type and does not appear to be detachable; this dates the knop to the sixth century. It is waisted, and no decoration can be seen. The back face of the knop is hollow at its rounded terminal end. The brooch fragment is slightly distorted, probably due to heat damage. This brooch was probably originally deposited in an early Anglo-Saxon cremation; it was discovered in association with other early Anglo-Saxon long brooches and other artefacts.
