Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy plate brooch of 2nd century AD date. The plate is oval in plan and has a low, flat rim around the outer edge. At the centre, a similar rim defines a slightly recessed oval cell, the base of which has been deliberately scored to act as a key for the now-missing inset. The outer ring is also missing its original infill. On the reverse, the pin attachment and catchplate are located at opposite ends of the brooch, on its longest axis. The pin attachment consists of a single rounded lug with a circular central hole. The catchplate is solid, has an angled inner edge and a rolled top edge. The pin is missing. Also on the back of the brooch are several scored lines, which appear to have been created deliberately.The brooch measures 26.3mm long, 21.3mm wide and 6mm thick. It weighs 5.65g.
