Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Langton Down or Rosette brooch. Only the foot and part of the catchplate survive intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The bow is flat, rectangular in form and with moulded decoration on the front face. This comprises at least six, and possibly seven, vertical flutes to produce reeded decoration, with alternating flutes containing additional decoration of multiple transverse ridges. The edges of the bow are incomplete due to old breaks. On the back face is an integrally cast catchplate that is flat, triangular in form with the remains of a central rectangular(?) aperture, missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The entire fragment measures 25.12mm in length, 14.42mm in width, 1.67mm in thickness (at bow, 10.29mm including catchplate), and weighs 2.28g.This is an incomplete Roman Langton Down or Rosette brooch. It finds parallels in examples published from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 34, 53, 55) and is of 1st century AD date, c.25-65 AD.
