Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Early Medieval brooch. The brooch is sub circular in plan with a portion missing. This break does not appear to be too recent. The upper surface is decorated with two clusters of four small circular cells near the edge of the brooch. The reverse has two incomplete parallel lugs. Between the lugs there is a trace of an iron axis bar. The surface of the brooch has a mottled mid grey/green coloured surface. The brooch measures 32.71mm long, 28.49mm wide and 4.42mm thick. It weighs 6.6g. The brooch is a disc brooch which dates to the 5th to 6th centuries (MacGregor and Bolick 1993 A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections B.A.R. 120 p. 57).
