Description: | Copper alloy oval plate brooch of Roman date. On the upper surface there is a thin plain raised border with a concentric thin raised oval ridge inside. Within this there is a large concentric oval ridge, the sides of which are now damaged, with a recess inside to hold the setting. A small amount of the setting, possibly glass, survives in one half of the recess. Within each of the recesses between the raised elements outside of the central recess there appears to have been incised decoration in the form of a series of incised 'X' shapes forming a line of lozenge-shapes, now heavily abraded. The reverse of the brooch is flat and undecorated. The remains of the catchplate and pin bar lug survive, located in the centre of either end. Patchy green patina with dark and reddish areas on the upper surface.
