Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill) type brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175).Approximately 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow and part of the head. The wings, spring, pin, catch plate and foot are missing, presumed lost in antiquity.The bow is straight, but tapers to a point. It has a circular section. The head is angular.The brooch measures 24.39 mm in length, 5.16 mm wide and 6.00 mm thick. It weighs 1.8 g.The brooch is a dark green colour with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of the majority of surface detail.
