Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a pin from an annular brooch of Roman or later date. It is formed from a single sheet of copper-alloy, rolled to create a tubular pin that is missing its tip due to old breaks. Towards the old breaks the pin appears to have very faint decoration in the form of multiple transverse grooves. At the complete end the flattened sheet of copper-alloy is rolled backwards to create a transverse circular loop. The entire object measures 67.26mm in length, 5.65mm in width, 7.82mm in thickness (at loop; 3.57mm in thickness at pin), and 4.31g in weight.This is probably a pin from a brooch or buckle of annular or penannular form. It may be of any date from the Roman period onward, although with a date range in the Roman or Early-Medieval periods perhaps most plausible.
