Description: | A copper-alloy plate or disc brooch. The brooch is in very poor condition. The remains of the brooch give the impression of having once been circular or oval in shape, although it is possible that there were once knops or other decoration that are now missing. The brooch is perforated in the centre with a circular hole. The remains of the hinged pin mechanism are apparent on the reverse, though the pin is broken and missing. Plate broochs come in a range of forms and it is difficult to assign this to a particular type given its poor condition. However, plate brooches tend to date from the 2nd century AD. A plate brooch with a similar central perforation is illustrated in Hattatt (1989, 356; 1272).
