Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of Hod Hill type, dating to c. 1st century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of the middle portion, missing both the hinge area and head as well as the majority of the lower catchplate. The remaining portion has side lugs flanking a sub-triangular central grooved section; below this, the brooch has one raised collar or ridge, followed by a simple undecorated tapering foot. The end of the brooch has broken off, taking most of the catchplate, but the remaining shape suggests that the lower portion would have been relatively simple in design. Cf. Hattatt 2007, p. 322, fig. 181.
