Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook for spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; some damage to margins and surfaces. The back of the wings has corrosion, probably from solder for securing the spring, on the right hand side. The wing fronts each have three grooves. The bow is near triangular in section and tapers to a small flat end. The back is slightly convex. The sides have a small vertical rise, then angle to meet at a centre longitudinal groove which has incised angled notching on each edge. Length 45mm, width 20.5mm. Similar in general shape to Thetford (Mackreth in Gregory 1992, EAA 53, 121-122) no. 10 from a 43-60 AD context and Colchester (Crummy 1983, 12) though the latter has small side flanges.
