Description: | Middle Saxon to Late Saxon copper alloy openwork disc brooch of "cogwheel" type with eighteen teeth around the border. On the reverse a single pin lug with some staining from the missing iron pin and an incomplete catchplate are both set parallel with the edge. A concavity lies behind the central boss. This is of a well-known type of Continental origin, with one example found in a context of c.800 at Everswinkel, Germany (Youngs, S. in Wallis 2004, 40, fig. 35, SF 390). Many have been recorded in East Anglia (e.g. Hinton, 1974, 21, cat. no. 14; Geake, H. in Emery, P. 2007, 193-4, fig. 5.84, SF 587; NMS-54E325; SF-497CD2). Diameter 30 - 31.5mm. 9th century.
