Description: | A pair of copper-alloy pennanular brooches, each with faint traces of gilding (brooch 1 and brooch 2).Both are complete with the pin still attached, though the pin of brooch 2 has broken. The pins have been attached by the coiling of a flattened end around the brooch. The pins are dramatically bowed, typical of a Hattatt type B pin.The terminals are coiled and are classified as Fowler Type C. Snape's (1993) type is 16.3 (still a Fowler Type C).The dating range, according to Snape, are 100 BC up to the Early Medieval period. However, pins that are so dramatically bowed tend to be a feature of late Iron Age brooches.The brooches were found linked together and in association with one rimsherd of a (prob. Yorkshire) greyware jar.
