Description: | A copper alloy penannular brooch dating from the Iron Age, Roman or early medieval period. The brooch has a diameter of 36.3mm and is 7.4mm thick. It has chunky expanded terminals which are shaped like thick discs with a recessed collar. There are two incised circumferential lines round each disc and before each collar. Half of the pin survives. It is flattened and coiled round the frame at one end, and has a circular section in the middle where it is broken, with the tip end missing. The pin appears to have been humped which can indicate a fairly early date, though the disc-like terminals are not a common feature of early examples and fit better into Fowler's type H. The brooch has a glossy patina, but the pin and the open part of the frame are pitted and show traces of active corrosion.
