Description: | An incomplete probable Birdlip or beaked bow brooch, of Late Iron Age dating (50 BC to AD 50).Around 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of part of the bow. The brooch fragment is sub rectangular in shape. At the head of the brooch, it narrows, and would have extended into the spring. Beneath this are two semi circular collars. A third moulding is located underneath the two collars, this curves downwards and outwards, this forms a 'beak'. The bow underneath the moulding is flat, with an engraved vertical line down either side. The reverse is flat and undecorated.It measures 31.4 mm in length, 9.7 mm wide and 7.6 mm thick. It weighs 4.1 g.The brooch fragment is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.The curved 'beak' is characteristic of Birdlip or beaked bow brooches, however the top of the brooch is inconsistent with the majority of other Birdlip style brooches recorded on the PAS database.
