Description: | A cast copper Early Medieval cruciform brooch fragment. It is from the lower part of the brooch, part of the foot, and is incomplete due to old breaks. The full width does not survive. The object is rectangular with part of the catchplate set at right angles at its centre back. The lower terminal is worn with rounded edges, and incomplete. There is a transverse groove and collar just above it. These separate the terminal from a flat plate, at the centre of which is a large circle and dot motif. The horse-head terminal from the base of the brooch is missing. The brooch fragment measures 28.34mm in surviving length, 13.34mm in width, 2.15mm in thickness, and weighs 6.14g.
