Description: | Complete cast copper alloy pin head probably dating from the Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-410. Only part of the circular shank, the collar and the onion-shaped head survive. The surface of the pin is extremely worn and no other decoration is visible. It probably dates from the Roman period, but pins such as this are not unknown from pre-Conquest and post-Roman early medieval contexts (cp Crummy and Graham-Campbell; pers. comm. Tim Padley).
