Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Iron Age to Roman Rosette brooch. It is missing the pin, most of the bow, and the foot/catchplate due to old breaks. The brooch has cylindrical spring cases that contain a copper-alloy spring, with a rectangular aperture at the centre through which the now incomplete iron pin would have hinged. The upper half of the bow survives intact and is flat, circular in form and may originally have had appliqué decoration on the front face. It measures 19.96mm in length, 28.67mm in width at spring, 10.75mm in thickness at spring, and weighs 8.22g. This Iron Age to Roman Rosette brooch is similar to a more complete example from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 57) and dates to the 1st century, c.25-65 AD.
