Description: | Copper alloy Brooch fragment. Fragment from the top of a cast Cruciform Brooch, comprising part of the head plate, an integrally cast half round top knob with a groove below , and a semi-circular lug behind to retain a pin (absent). The slightly hollowed back of the top knob may suggest the main part of the brooch was cast in an open mould, presumably as a locally made version of a brooch type with strong Scandinavian affinities. Fiercely abraded. This is one of a number of finds suggesting that Early Anglo-Saxon graves have been disturbed by cultivation hereabouts. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-600.Length: 36.0mm, Width: 19.6mm, Thickness (plate below top knob): 5.4mm, Weight: 9.90gms.
