Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy penannular brooch of Roman date. Half of the brooch including one terminal survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The frame is undecorated, circular in section and tapers to an old break on the opposite side of the brooch to the terminal. The terminal itself is flattened and rolls backwards upon itself to produce a curved or spiralled terminal, its precise form uncertain due to corrosion. It has a dark brown patina that is pitted in places and measures 33.60mm in length, 19.60mm in width, 2.55mm in thickness/diameter at frame, 2.79mm in width and 3.91mm in thickness at terminal, and weighs 1.65g.This is an incomplete penannular brooch of Roman date. It is similar to examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 205) and in Hattatt (1989: nos. 650-651) and given the longevity of this form of brooch may date to any point within the Roman period, c.1st-4th centuries AD.
