Description: | Roman copper alloy hodhill brooch, 43mm long, 16mm wide and 3mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition and weighs 4.74 grams. The brooch is worn, but complete and consists of a head plate which is in the form of an inverted triangle, with a recess in the centre of its upper surface to take a hinged pin and with three raised horizontal ridges, which protrude slightly at each side. Below this is a further ridge which protrudes further and gives the brooch a 'cruciform' shape. Below this the brooch narrows again, tapers to a narrow foot and has a further three ridges across its width. The reverse of this section contains the remains of a catch plate.
