Description: | A copper alloy Roman disc brooch fragment. About half of a circular brooch survives, with abraded edges and pitted surfaces. There is a perforation at the centre 2.8mm in diameter, surrounded by an incised line 8.15mm in diameter. There may be further small circles decorating the surface concentrically, but these are hard to distinguish from the wear marks. On the reverse is part of the catchplate mechanism for fastening a pin (missing). The brooch measures 28.32mm in diameter, 1.57mm in thickness and weighs 4.04g. Disc brooches date to the second century AD.
