Description: | A cast copper-alloy disc brooch dating to the middle or late Anglo-Saxon period. The brooch comprises a flat circular plate divided into four by a cross-shaped groove. In each quarter is a circular perforation. On the underside of the brooch, there is a semi-circular pin attachment lug with circular perforation and a fragment of the catchplate. The pin lug is transverse, i.e. set at right angles to the direction of the pin. The pin is missing. The brooch measures 24mm in diameter.This brooch is a rather crude version of the type. A better-made example can be seen at NMS-698432.
