Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. The surviving brooch is now in three pieces. The headplate has a rectangular central panel with an incomplete wing on the left and one missing on the right. The left wing has an integral but incomplete cast half-round side knob with a grooved collar. Another complete cast half-round knob was found with the brooch and is most likely to be the left side knob. The separate knob has a grooved collar and was once an integral part of the side wing. Above the central panel is an integral and complete cast half-round top knob with a grooved collar. The arched bow has a concave reverse, faceted corners and is broken midway down the bow. The surviving fragment of the footplate is covered with beige coloured fabric fibres and plough soil. Behind the headplate are the remains of a single perforated lug. Behind the footplate fragment is an incomplete catchplate. The surviving length is 87mm, the surviving width is 45.6mm and the weight is 36.88g.
