Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper-alloy annular brooch of Anglo-Saxon/Early-Medieval date. Less than one quarter of the brooch survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It has a flat band that is slightly oval shaped in section and terminates at both ends in old breaks. The front face is decorated with punched circles along both edges, but the back face is flat and undecorated. It measures approximately 50mm in external diameter, 26.17mm in length, 10.77mm in width, 1.37mm in thickness, and weighs 1.63g.Annular Anglo-Saxon brooches with similar decoratvive motifs are noted in Suffolk from sites such as Lakenheath (West, 1998: nos. 109.4-5). This indicates that the current example dates to between the late-5th and 7th centuries AD.
