Description: | Late Iron Age or early Roman copper alloy brooch of La Tene III, Nauheim derivative type dated to c.30-70 AD. The brooch head, spring and pin are mostly missing to an old break with only one loop of the spring remaining on one side. The bow rises vertically from the head before bending at 90 degrees from which it has a shallow convex curve towards the foot. It is flat with rounded edges and the front is decorated with a central row of punched double indents. It widens immediately from the head to 4.2mm wide by 1.7mm thick and then tapers in width gradually towards the foot. The foot and catchplate are missing from an old break and it is 2.6mm wide at the break. It is 25.3mm long and weighs 1.43 grams.Bailey and Butcher (2004) illustrated many similar examples (p.56), some complete, although mostly undecorated.
