Description: | Complete copper-alloy knop probably part of a late Roman crossbow brooch. The fragment is a globular sub-spherical knop. The base of the knop has an integrally cast collar and below this, from the centre of the base of the knop, the stub of an attachment prong or tang, which is sub-circular in section, extends fr a short length, c. 4mm. If this item was part of a Roman crossbow brooch it would have been situated either at the mid-point of the wings, projecting upwards to form the head of the brooch, or at either end of the wings, projecting outwards, forming the arms of the brooch.On the basis that it is part of a Late Roman crossbow brooch it has been dated in line with this AD. c.320-400.
