Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy brooch dating to the Middle Iron Age. The brooch is formed of four hollow bulbous domes arranged in a square forming a lozenge-shaped openwork centre. Two of the domes (the uppermost) are marginally larger in diameter than the lower two. The domes are linked together by a short plano-convex neck decorated with simple vertical lines across the width of the moulding. The bulbous domes themselves are plain and undecorated. The reverse of the brooch is also plain and undecorated but the robust catchplate is retained intact and the double pin lug retains a fragment of the iron pin.
