The brooch is distorted and rough to tthe touch due to exposture to heat, perhaps indicating that this brooch was part of an Anglo-Saxon cremation originally.It measures 34.58mm in total length and the head is rectangular in shape measuring 26.89mm in width and 16.28mm in length. The head has a central panel delimited by a groove and traces of small indentations along the longitudinal edges.

Projecting from the centre of the lower half of the back face of the head is an integral pin loop which contains the remains of the iron pin. The bow is facteted and 11.96mm in width.
