Title
Early-medieval brooch: Anglo-Saxon disc brooch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy disc brooch of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The brooch is flat, circular in form and has incised decoration on the front face. A small central perforation is surrounded by two concentric circles, which in turn is ringed by eight shallow punched dots. Outside of this is another two incised concentric circles within which is a notched design running around the circumference of the brooch. The back face of the brooch is flat and undecorated. The remains of the integrally cast catchplate and pin hinge can be seen; the pin is missing but iron corrosion around the hinge suggest an iron pin.

This Anglo-Saxon disc brooch is similar to examples from the Upper Thames Valley region and published by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (MacGregor and Bolick, 1993:57-61 nos. 4.14-4.27). These are interpreted as an insular Anglo-Saxon development and are dated to the 5th or 6th centuries AD.
