Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy dome headed pin of probable later Roman date (100-400AD). The pin is incomplete; all that remains is the head and a small section of the shaft. The head of the pin is domed being broadly globular in shape (diameter 10.0mm); there is no evidence of incised decoration on the pin head. The base of the head tapers into a faceted oval shaped shaft which is broken. The break is recent and unabraded. The shaft is decorated with a series of incised bands which are irregular in nature. The shaft measures 2.6mm in diameter and is 11.2mm long. The pin is a mid greenish grey colour with an even but slightly abraded patina that covers all surfaces. The damage through abrasion has affected all parts of the pin. The pin measures 19.2mm length, 10mm wide and 10.1mm thick. It weighs 3.51 grams
