Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Early Medieval brooch, probably of small-long type, dating to the 5th or 6th Century AD. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, comprising most of the square head-plate, with complete drilled pin-lug to the reverse and a very small stump of the missing bow on the lower edge. The head-plate is decorated with three concentric engraved circles, within which are five punched ring-and-dots arranged as a cross. Two punched dots present along each of the side edges suggest a border of dots on the complete object.The fragment measures 24.92mm x 17.70mm, the head-plate is 2.13mm thick and 9.40mm thick with the pin lug. It weighs 4.97g.The same design is found on plate brooches recorded on the database, such as NMS-317096, which is thought to be of 5th century date, while small-long brooches generally date to the later 5th and 6th centuries.
