Description: | A copper-alloy brooch fragment. It is a lozenge shaped plate brooch. The lozenge shaped plate has a concave section which projects forwards from the main plate, terminating with a flat circular knop, which is also slightly concave. One third of the brooch is missing, most of the pin is missing and only part of the catchplate survives intact. The brooch has been very badly worn and so much of the original surface has been lost. It is a twin lugs hinge type. The copper-alloy pin (which has broken) measures approximately 9mm in length; the pin is also slightly bent. It dates to the 2nd century AD. Weighs 1.27g and has a length of 24.14mm.
