Full description

1998. Metal-detecting.
Medieval coin. See list in file.

Roman bronze hair pin with biconical head and part of circular section shaft. Top has lattice of three engraved lines crossing. Three others at right angles; the lower part of head has a concentric groove running round it. (S1) NCM.

Lozengiform Early post medieval bronze belt or harness mount, now very corroded but with traces of relief decoration. Four openwork perforations in centre. Two bent over attachment spikes on reverse. An example of an Early post medieval object apparently copying an Middle Saxon/Late Saxon prototype. In this case perhaps a Viking lozengiform brooch. (S1) NCM.
