Description: | Copper alloyBrooch fragment. Cast T-shaped Brooch, with a moulded head with slot for pin, side lugs or vestigial wings, and reeding extending from the wings down along the bow as appears on Langton Down and some Hod Hill forms; however, the square-section bow is atypically thick. The catch-plate is pierced with a round hole of diameter 3.4mm, and four slightly smaller lateral perforations have been drilled through the bow, presumably for modification or adaptation of the fastening mechanism. The brooch has partially broken at the uppermost of these perforations. This is one of a number of distinctive or adapted brooches reported from this site. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-100.Length: 53.3mm, Width (wings): 21.9mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4mm, Weight: 13.18gms.
