Description: | A fragment of a globular-headed copper alloy pin, consisting of the head and a short section (4mm) of the shank. The head is 12.5mm in diameter and the shank 4.2mm. It is 11.2 mm in length. It weighs 5.56gm. The head has a domed top, but the base is flattened. It is difficult to date undecorated pins of this type, but the chunkiness of this example, and the other finds from the same area suggest a Roman date. The pin has a glossy green patina which is flaking and mostly missing. A similar example with references is SF-B88CB2.
