Description: | A copper alloy early Medieval brooch; a small long brooch. The foot is missing. The head is sub-square with concave recesses in the edge either side of the bow. There is no decoration visible. The bow is corroded, but was bevelled with raised corned mouldings at the top and bottom. The lower bow and foot are also corroded, but raised transverse lines can be seen. The very end of the foot is missing and the break is old. The catchplate survives behind the lower bow, and there is a large lump of iron corrosion behind the head; the remains of the iron spring and pin. The bow has been bent while in the ground, and the surface is pitted. The brooch dates from the Early Medieval period of circa 410 - 600 AD.
