Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy 'Lowbury' style brooch dating to the first century AD. Mackreth's (2011) Class 2c, with no. 4054 and 4014 being close parallels. The brooch consists of the upper half of the bow and one loop of the coiled spring, but the foot of the brooch and the pin is missing. Down either outer edge of the bow of the brooch is one, or possibly two, rows of punched squares. The parallel illustrated in Mackreth was found in levels at Wroxeter and is dated to after AD 55 / 60. Lowbury brooches appear to have gone out of use by AD 80. Although they may date to the Roman period chronologically, they are a distinctively Iron Age brooch and are associated with the Atrebates, with their distribution largely contained to Hampshire, Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.
