Description: | Incomplete Early Saxon small-long brooch, lower bow and footplate missing, in battered condition, old breaks but a little recent minor damage. All edges of the headplate are missing, but there is a suggestion in the present shape of cut-outs at the corners, both of the upper ones marked by an oblique V-section notch or short groove. There are four round, cast perforations in the headplate, countersunk from the front face, the lower two blocked by iron corrosion deriving from the spring. At the top of the D-section bow a rectangular panel forms facets. probably of Leeds' (1945) cross potent derivative type, cf. ibid. fig. 10 e and f. Length >36mm. Width >24mm. 6th century.
