Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy brooch of probable second century AD date. The brooch measures 59.3mm by 16.3mm by 4.6mm and weighs 14.18g. It appears to most closely conform to the T-shaped plate-headed type and possibly formerly had a headstud at the end of the damaged and worn D-shaped plate. The Cylindrical wings conceal the axis bar for a hinged pin (missing). The bow flares out slightly, then narrows gradually towards the missing foot. The external face of the bow is convex, the back is concave and there are three parallel vertical grooved lines down the centre of the bow which start at the point the bow begins to narrow. The remains of a pin rest can be seen on the back of the brooch just above the break.
