Description: | A copper-alloy disc brooch of early Anglo-Saxon date, probably c. 450-550.The brooch is sub-circular in plan and, apart from a perimeter border of punched arcs, undecorated. On the reverse, the hinge and catchplate are located opposite each other. The hinge comprises a damaged perforated lug, set at a right-angle to the plate; the catchplate is solid, in line with the hinge lug, and is missing its rolled top side. Adhering to the reverse are areas of white-metal solder and iron corrosion, as if repaired or modified in antiquity. The pin is missing. The brooch is relatively small for a disc brooch at 22.6mm in diameter; it is 5.6mm thick and weighs 5.85g.
