English:

An incomplete Roman copper alloy Hod Hill type brooch dating to the 1st Century AD, spring and catchplate missing. 

The head of the brooch projects backwards in a sub-rectangular plate which has been rolled upwards and over itself around a copper alloy axis bar. The head survives to a width of 15.4. A slot has subsequently been cut into the reverse of the head to accommodate a hinged pin which is now missing.

The bow projects from the head with a width of c.8mm. The bow is rectangular in cross-section and curved in profile. It is straight sided for half its length the narrows the remaining length to a foot. The foot is slightly wider and expanded from the bow and has one collar above it. The bows outer face has moulded decoration predominantly on its upper half. in this region there are Four parallel longitudinal, parallel ribs. One along each edge and two between these. These ribs end at the point the brooch begins to narrow which is marked by two raised transverse collars. 

The brooch is a medium green colour.

The brooch fragment is 10.9mm long, 15.4mm wide, 3.weighs 6.54 grams.

The form and decoration on matches Hod Hill type broochs as defined by Bayely & Butcher (2004, 74-77), Hattat (2000: 322) and Mackreth (2011: 94) Nos.8841 and 8967. Each of these sources suggests a date of c.AD 43-75.
