The fragment is very small and undiagnostic; the fragment consists of a sub-oval shaped head in plan (D shaped in cross section) which is snapped at the junction with the bow of the brooch. The bow would have been D shaped in cross section. The underside of the head is flat and abraded - there is no evidence of a central bar. The exterior surface is heavily abraded and is a mid green colour with an abraded purple surface present in places. There is no evidence of cast decoration present. Although fragmentary this small fragment conforms to the size and shape of a very small trumpet brooch.The fragment measures 10.8mm length, is 10.1mm wide and 6.7mm thick. It weighs 2.89 grams.
