Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy 'Knickfibel' brooch. The wings and spring are missing. The upper bow is rectangular in cross-section and is angled sharply back to the head. There is an expanded moulding at the base of the upper bow. The base of the moulding has a right-angled instep and meets the lower bow which extends straigt down to the foot. The lower bow is oval in cross-section.This type of brooch is likely to have come with the army since they are common on the forts of the Rhine-Danube frontier (Bayley, 2004, Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and typological study based on the Richborough collection, p 148).
