Description: | Incomplete and corroded cast copper alloy late Iron Age or Roman brooch, probably a Colchester type or derivative. The arched-section wings that covered the spring form a 'T' shape at the head of the brooch. The 'D' section bow rises from the head and narrows in a taper, arching down to the missing catchplate at the foot of the bow. At the head of the bow is a broken hook that probably formed part of the first coil of the spring which together with the pin is now missing. Circa 1st century AD. Dimensions: Length: 35.28 mm, width: 13.87 mm, thickness: 2.36 mm, weight: 2.7 g
