Description: | A copper-alloy pin of probable middle Early-medieval (Anglo-saxon) date. Interestingly, as with a Roman pin found nearby (see BH-4C1B66), the point of this pin has been deliberately bent upwards, creating a hooked implement.The head of the pin is bi-conical and has a collar at the base. The shaft is of circular section, has a pronounced 'swelling' at the centre and tapers towards the point, which has been upturned into a 'U-shaped' hook.The surfaces of the pin are corroded. It measures 59.7mm long, 8.7mm wide (head) and weighs 4.8g.
