Description: | A very worn copper-alloy pin, which could be Roman or later in date. The head and the upper fragment of the shaft survive, the rest of the shaft is missing due to an old break. It measures 29.4mm in total length, the head has a flat square upper face and tapers into the shaft which has a roughly rectangular cross-section. The upper face head measures 15.9mm by 15.7mm in size and the head is c16.4mm in length. The shaft measures 12.9mm in width and 12.2mm in thickness. There are slight traces of transverse grooves across the sides of the head and sdown the shaft, these are especially visible on one face.No exact parallel could be found for this pin, it is perhaps most likely to be Roman or middle Anglo-Saxon in date.
