Description: | Copper alloy La Tene III or Nauheim derivative type bow brooch dating from c.1st century BC to the 1st century AD. A simple one piece sprung brooch. It is mostly complete although some of the spring and the pin are missing, as is the catchplate. The brooch has a backwards curving hook which would have supported the spring. There is a very simple cross bar which has folded over ends to encase the spring. Three coils remain of the spring, it is most likely to have been 6 coils. The bow is slender and simple, there would have been a small, basic catchplate at the foot but this has broken off.
