Description: | A copper alloy late Iron Age or Roman penannular brooch of Fowler's Type A dating from 300 BC - 400 AD. It has a circular sectioned hoop and globular terminals with slightly recessed collars. The pin is missing and the frame is distorted and broken (recently) into two pieces. Sally Worrell writes "Types A-C are known from Iron Age contexts but they are difficult to date closely as many types were in use for a long period of time" in the PAS Roman and Iron Age Training notes (unpublished). The brooch has a thin brown patina, with some brass showing, and some green coloured pitting. It is 62mm long, 25.4mm wide, 5.9mm thick. 8.65g.
