Description: | An incomplete copper alloy early medieval small long brooch. It has a broad, rectangular head plate, the outer face of which is decorated with a faint line of punched semi-circles around the outer edge. To the reverse is a rectangular lug with a circular hole holding traces of iron corrosion. The bow is short and very simple. The lower section of the brooch is missing, but it survives in otherwise good condition with a shiny patina.A very similar example has been excavated at Lakenheath, Suffolk (West 1998, 226, fig.108, no.8). With its simple head plate the brooch fits best within Penn and Brugmann's (2007) Type sm1, which belongs to their Phase FA1 - c.AD 450-80.Length: 42.55mm, width: 27.48mm, thickness: 10.80mm, weight: 11.06g
