Description: | An incomplete unidentified copper alloy object, probably Roman to Medieval in date (AD 43 - 1500). It consists of a narrowing shaft (6.21x1.81mm to 2.26x1.63mm) with a flatter, wider broken extension at the wider end (10.14x1.03mm). The object measures 47.46mm in length and weighs 2.22g.The flatter extension has a central notch with a jagged edge across. The shaft is decorated with a groove flanking each edge and diagonal grooves filling the entire area.Although the notch and decoration suggest this object could be an incomplete strip-bow brooch (Late Iron Age to Early Roman in date), there is no sign of a catchplate to the reverse (which is plain andn undecorated) and the bow is rather thick.
