Description: | An incomplete copper alloy small-long brooch dating to the early medieval period, c. AD 400 to 550. The head of the brooch is missing however the bow is present and sub-triangular in cross-section which creates a faceted front to the bow. The brooch then bends at almost 90 degrees to create a P-shape. This vertical section is more rounded than the bow which creates a D-shaped section. From the back of this section extends the catchplate with an incised line marking the different parts of the brooch. Below the catchplate the brooch bends forwards to create a rounded sub-triangular foot. There is no evidence for decoration on the object and the catchplate is quite substantial which is what suggests an early medieval date.There are similar examples illustrated in MacGregor and Bolick (1993: 129-132).
