Description: | A fragment of the bow and catchplate of a copper-alloy Roman brooch, probably of the Langton Down variety. The remains of the brooch are decorated with a reeded design, common on Langton Down types. Furthermore, the broken catchplate appears to have had a central perforation, once again, a common feature on the Langton Down brooches. The fragment measures 28.3 mm long and 9.3 mm wide. It is in quite poor condition. Langton Down brooches are known to have come into Britain from the continent, and predominantly arrive in this country at the time of the conquest, in 43 AD (Hattatt 1985, 35). Examples are illustrated in Hattatt (1985, page 37; figs 268-273).
