Description: | A plain silver annular brooch of thirteenth to fourteenth century date weighing 1.96g. The once circular frame has a transverse break just to the side of where the pin rests against the frame. The two ends now overlap each other by 2.82mm which results in the frame now being oval in shape with the outer diameter measurements of 24.00mm x 20.96mm. The frame has a circular cross-section that has a diameter of 1.64mm. The pin survives although this is now bent. The pin has a 'D' shaped section, a flat back and convex upper surface. The pin is 2.15mm wide tapering to a point, and 0.85mm thick. The end opposite the point wraps round the frame forming an incomplete loop to secure the pin to the frame. The length of the pin is approximately 2.50mm.For similar examples see TAR 2007, p.124 & 366, no.249, PAS record NMGW-9C2734, Treasure Wales 07.09 and TAR 2006, p.106 &345, no.324, Treasure Number 2006 T94.
