Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy late Iron Age/Roman brooch of the Langton Down type. The fragment consists of the abraded head and upper bow. The surviving head features a characteristically cylindrical hood. The curve from head through to bow goes through ninety degrees, as is typical. The slightly tapering bow has a flat reverse and an upper surface decorated with longitudinal reeding in the form of six discernible low ridges. Above these is a transverse curved groove at the junction of bow and head. The brooch has corroded to its present grey colour with areas of lighter corrosion product present all over.
