Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Langton Down type brooch of 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt, 1982, p. 80). The tubular wings, which would originally have completely encased the spring, are now damaged on the underside. Four coils of the copper-alloy spring remain in-situ. A horizontal groove marks the point at the base of the head where the bow adjoins. The bow is of thin section, has an upper surface decorated with closely-spaced vertical ridges and grooves, and tapers towards the point where it is broken off.The piece measures 14.9mm long, 16.5mm wide and 5.4mm thick. The weight is 2.29g.
