Description: | Cast copper-alloy Polden Hill type brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. ca. AD80-120. Only the head/spring housing, part of the spring and part of the bow remain. There were small circular holes in the end caps to receive the axis bar around which the spring was coiled. Half of the axis part has now corroded away. The bow and head are plain with the exceptions of simple mouldings on top of the bow and towards the front of the head. The metal is affected by bronze disease.
