Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Rosette Brooch fragment, possibly Mackreth Type ROS 4b. A cylindrical case presumably retains a spring though the pin is lost; there is a rectangular panel on the front of the case. A thick curved bow bears relict traces of reeded decoration and is cast integrally with a [now] lozenge shaped plate; the foot and catch plate are lost although there is a ridge on the back of the lower plate which marks the beginning of the catch plate. The rosette brooch occurs at Dragonby, North Lincolnshire, in Late Iron Age contexts. Suggested date: Late Iron Age to Early Roman, 30-55.Length: 36.1mm, Width: 16.6mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.5mm, Weight: 10.76gms.
