Description: | Incomplete Roman Colchester Derivative brooch, badly distorted by heat, spring pin, much of the head and all below the upper part of the catchplate missing. The remains of the wings are highly distorted and partly blocked up with hard off-white material, apparently fired clay. A central backwards projection in the centre may be the remains of a rearhook or a lug. The round cross-section of the bow suggests a Polden Hill rather than a sprung Dolphin. It is more likely that the object has been burnt either deliberately or accidentally after use rather than abandoned during manufacture. Length 49mm. c.43 - c.150.
