Description: | A copper-alloy disc brooch of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It is missing its pin and parts of the outer edge of the plate, but is otherwise complete. The plate is disc shaped in form with decoration on its front face. This comprises a central circular indentation surrounded by double concentric circles, a further pair of concentric circles towards the outer edge of the plate. On the back face of the plate is a single, integrally cast semi-circular pin lug, and corresponding catchplate, traces of the corroded iron pin visible at the pin lug. The elongated catchplate is rectangular in form with folded outer edge. The entire brooch measures 25.04mm in diameter, 2.60mm in thickness (at plate, 10.87mm at catchplate), and 6.33g in weight.This is an incomplete disc brooch of Anglo-Saxon date. It finds parallels in a number of published examples (MacGregor and Bolick, 1993: nos. 4.14-4.26) and is of 5th to 6th century AD date.
