Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pin of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The head and upper part of the shaft survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The head is conical in form, with a flattened median band, above which it tapers slightly towards the flattened, flaring upper edge. Around the base of the head is slight collar at the juncture with the integral shaft. The shaft itself is cylindrical in form and terminates in old breaks shortly below the head. The entire object measures 13.94mm in length, 7.08mm in diameter (at head, 2.33mm at shaft), and 1.20g in weight. This is an incomplete pin of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It is likely to belong in the Middle Anglo-Saxon period, c.8th-9th centuries AD.
