Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch, consisting of the wings with appendages housing an 11-coiled spring, fragment of pin and part of the bow. The wingspan is 21.50mm and the fragment weighs 4.91g.The wings have a double moulding to either end, projecting forwards. The chord from the spring curves over the top of the wings and is held by a forward-facing hook. The bow extends horizontally from the wings and is flat before dropping 90°. The break is shortly after this point.The brooch is covered in a light coloured concretion and no detail is visible. The brooch is very similar to one in Hattatt's Brooches of Antiquity 1987, p.99-101 no.905 from Langton Down in Dorset. This Hattatt describes as an oddity.Late 1st century in date.
