Title
Early-medieval brooch: Disc brooch
Description
English: A worn and incomplete cast copper alloy disc brooch of early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. The brooch has a central circular perforation (now blocked) with four equally spaced ring-and-dot motifs around it, with a small area of tinning retained in the centre of the brooch. The reverse of the brooch retains the single lug for the pin and also the catchplate. The pin is missing; an area of iron corrosion indicates that the hinge rivet and the pin was made of iron.

These brooches are well attested in the Upper Thames Valley area, and several with identical designs are illustrated in MacGregor and Bolick (1993:63), including examples from Brightampton, Minster Lovell and Filkins (all Oxon) and Marston St. Lawrence (Northants). These brooches date from c. AD 450-550.
