Description: | Cast copper alloy Polden hill brooch, length 37mm, width 20mm, thickness 11mm, weight 7.57g. Semicircular, concave cross-section wings that have backward facing lug at either end. Both lugs have been truncated down that centre but a hole where the spring support bar would have been mounted is still visible. A serrated crest runs down the head and terminates in a point at the base of the head, at that back of the crest is a loop for external chord of the spring. Stepped shoulders flank either side of the head. The leg is plain and terminates in a point, the catch plate on the reverse is complete. This artefact is in fair condition with most of the original patina remaining which is mid green. These are dated to 80-120AD.
