Description: | A copper alloy disc brooch dating to the second century AD. The brooch comprises a flat, circular plate. The upper surface of the plate is corroded but it appears that originally it was originally decorated with an applied foil or similar. A circular rib is just visible, dividing the plate into two cells. On the underside of the brooch, there is a semi-circular lug with circular perforation to hold the axis bar and pin. Both are missing. Iron corrosion surrounds the perforation. The catchplate is sub rectangular and notched. The brooch measures 26mm in diameter.
