Description: | A copper-alloy penannular brooch of possible Iron Age or Roman date. It is circular in shape and rectangular in section with scrolled terminal ends. The pin is present and is bent around the frame in an open loop. It is oval in section and tapers to a point. The frame of the brooch is decorated with an inner and outer border but it is not possible to see what is between them due to damage. It measures 19.01mm in diameter, 2.60mm in width, 1.58mm in thickness and weighs 1.54g.It is similar to published examples, for example, Hattatt, 1989, no 651 and Blagg et al., 2004, nos 205 and 206 suggesting that it dates to between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
