Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy cruciform or small-long brooch. The brooch has a flat rectangular panel with a flat half-rounded knop on three sides. The bow is arched and broken at the base. The reverse of the headplate contains an integral pin-lug. The surface of the brooch is very worn and no decoration is visible.Because of its worn and fragmentary state it is hard to positively identify this brooch as either a cruciform or a small-long. The flatness of the head, though, suggests that it may be the latter. It is early Anglo-Saxon and dates to the sixth century AD.
