Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Romano-British brooch. The brooch is of a type that appears to be a Northern variant of the headstud which does not actually have a headstud. The foot and most of the catchplate are missing. The bow is completely plain, and roughly triangular in section, flat behind with the 2 sides slightly convex and curving in to for a blunt point. Along its length the bow is gently curved, but there is quite a sharp bend in to the head. The head has a hollow circular sectioned wing to either side, both now slightly damaged. The hollow cylinder of the head was for the pin mechanism, with a notch behind for the pin itself; a small corroded part of this survives and appears to have been iron. Above the head is an integral suspension loop (diameter 9mm).
