Description: | Fragment of cast copper alloy brooch (probably) of probable Roman date (AD 100 - AD 300). Length 30.5mm, width 9mm and maximum thickness 5mm. Weight 2.87g. The fragment is the foot and part of the bow of a brooch. It is 19mm in length and has a width of 6mm. In plan, the terminal end of the foot tapers to a rounded point. The front of the foot has a longitudinal median carination. At the top of the foot the portion of bow projects forwards abruptly to form a flat splayed plate. On the rear of this splayed plate there is an old break. A curved "spike" with a rounded point extends outwards and upwards from the plate. At the rear of the foot is the remains of a stout catch-plate. Although a patina has not survived and the surfaces are slightly corroded, the object is in fair condition.
