Description: | An incomplete late Iron Age - Roman brooch of one-piece Colchester type, c. 1st century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of a fragment of the integrally-cast spring and a broken rearward-facing hook, followed by a small semi-circular crossbar and thin tapering body that ends in a simple pointed foot. No trace of the catchplate or pin remains, in addition to most of the spring and rearward-facing hook. No further decoration on the brooch body remains. The brooch measures 26.3 mm long, 5.8 mm wide at head, 2.5 mm thick at body and weighs 1.04 grams. Cf. Hattatt 2007, Fig. 155, no. 15.
