Description: | A copper-alloy Langton Down type Roman bow brooch, the wings and the upper part of the bow survive and the rest of the brooch and the pin is missing, Langton Down brooches occur in Pre-conquest contexts but also in contexts dated post AD 43. The wings are a cylindrical spring cover with transverse grooves across their terminal and one horizontal groove across the centre. The bow fragment is flat backed and has longitudinal reeded decoration. Similar to Hacheston example (PLouviez 2004, 91,-92, no 34). It measures 21.21mm in length and 19.67mm in width.
