Description: | An incomplete cast alloy Hod Hill type brooch of Roman date, c. 1st century AD.The wings of the brooch are rolled forward and there is some evidence of the pin inside. The brooch then tapers at the neck until the collar which separates the head of the brooch from the main body. The main part of the brooch consists of a sub-rectangular panel in the direction of the bow with a side lug either side of the main rectangle. Below the rectangular panel there is another collar after which there is the terminal. The terminal tapers and has laterally incised grooves on it. The back is not decorated and some of the catch plate is still in place although this has fractured in antiquity. A similar example can be seen in Hattatt (2000: 322) number 51.
