Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch of probable Langton Down type. Only the head and a small fragment of the bow survive, which are in poor condition, so it is not possible to classify the brooch with confidence although based on the flared form of the head and linear decoration on the bow, it has been classified as being of probable Langton Down type. The head of the brooch has the remains of the spring fitting, for the pin, encased within it.Similar brooches can be seen in Fig 165 of 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's ancient Brooches', p.306.In line with brooches of Langton Down type this brooch has been dated to the 1st century, c.0-100 AD.
