Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy possible brooch of probable Roman date. The artefact is triangular in plan, the surviving tip is bent backwards at a ninety degree angle. The main body of the artefact would probably have been lozengeform in plan, the majority of one half of the object is lost. Running along the longest length of the object is punched decoration consisting of fifteen punches all of which are broadly sub rectangular/oval in plan with convex edges. The tip bent at a ninety degree angle appears to be undecorated. The reverse is mostly flat and undecorated, a ridge is visible running along the longest length of the lozengeform. The artefact is 18.15mm in length, 15.6mm wide, 0.75mm thick and weighs 0.95 grams.
