Description: | An incomplete, Late Iron Age - Early Roman, cast, copper alloy, one-piece Colchester type fibula. Large, narrow, plain relatively straight bow - indicating an early date in the series or possible continental import. Small, plain wings but may have been shortened by corrosion, minus the spring and pin. There is just the remains of the support for the axis bar and hook that once supported the chord. At the foot of the bow there is just a remnant of the catch plate. The brooch is in a rather eroded condition with a rusty brown matt deposit on the surface probably as a result of being found in water logged ground. This brooch is likely to date from 20-75AD. Ref. Ancient & Romano-British Brooches, R. Hattatt, Dorset Publishing 1982, page 60-61 no. 14 and Iron Age & Roman Brooches, R. Hattatt, Oxbow Books 1985, page 26-29 no. 249-251. The brooch is 76.69mm long, 18.17mm wide, 19.60mm thick and weighs 8.7g.
