Description: | A copper alloy small long brooch fragment of Early Medieval date. The headplate is flat and rectangular, and trefoil-headed. The terminals are flat spatulate knops rather than knobs at the top and on one side, the left side terminal is missing. The head plate has an incised line running from top to bottom on the right shoulder. The bow is curved with a central longitudinal ridge, and is incomplete due to old breaks. The remains of a curved catchplate in a mass of corrosion occupies most of the back face of the headplate. The brooch fragment measures 35.8mm in surviving length and 24.74mm in surviving width across the arms. It weighs 8.76g.A pair of similar small long brooches from Lakenheath are illustrated in West 1998, fig.108, no.4.
