Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy small long brooch dating to the fifth or sixth centuries AD. The fragment comprises the head plate and part of the bow. The head plate is rectangular with a slightly raised central rectangular panel. The upper surface of the plate is very worn but appears to be decorated with marginal rows of ring and dot. There is a circular perforation on the right hand margin of the brooch. The perforation is surrounded by iron corrosion. The head plate is separated from the bow by a rectangular moulding. The bow is arched and D shaped. On the underside of the plate is a worn lug which would have held the pin in place. The fragment measures 29mm in length and 24mm in width.
