Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester type. Missing pin, most of spring; damaged catchplate and point and wings; bow is very bent. A piece of iron within the spring is probably the remains of an iron axis bar. The better preserved flat wing has a single terminal groove. The bow section is a flattened oval; the profile is now uncertain but probably had a slightly acute upper angle. No decoration survives on the bow. The catchplate has the stubs of rectangular holes. Surviving width 10.5mm, surviving length (straightened) c. 60mm.
