Description: | Cast copper-alloy bow brooch dating from the Roman period. Probably Polden Hill type (c.AD75-175). Mass: 2.8g; width: 12.4mm; length: 27.8mm; depth: 9.0mm. Heavily corroded and uneven surface with brown adhesions from its time in the ground. T-shaped in plan. Head adjoins horizontal side-wings. The spring and pin mechanism, which are missing, would have been secured within the rear of the crossbar. Tapering, arched bow, with an oval cross-section; bent at the bottom. Whilst surface detail is unclear there appears to be a stub of a hook on the head and a trace of a plate on the side of the head. These features are consistent with it being a Polden Hill brooch.
