English: Early Medieval cast lead disc brooch, 43mm in diameter, 3mm thick and weighing 38.46grams. The broochhas been bent across its centre and is decorated with a ladder like border consisiting of a raised edge with a raised line about 3mm inside the edge. This is filled with short, raised transverse lines. Inside this border the brooch has a pattern made up of four raised circles which overlap slightly, creating elipses. At each point that the circles over lap there is a raised spherical knop, one in the centre and one at each edge forming a cruciform shape. The inside of each circle has a raised 'lozenge' shaped motif, with one of its curved sides being formed by the curve of the outer edge of the overlapping circle. Three of its corners correspond to the raised knops, with a fourth one being placed on its last point which faces towards the edge of the brooch. This creates nine knops in total, arranged in three lines of three. The inside of these lozenges have raised lines cutting across each corner, creating a small triangle, and have a small raised circle in their centre. In the elipses created by the overlapping circles there appears to be tone or two raised lines which radiate from the central knop.

The reverse of the brooch has two semi-circular pin lugs with a small central hole sitting next to each other at the edge of the brooch, both of these have been folded over. On the opposite side, corressponding to the lugs but slightly further in, is a small circular sectioned loop. The body of the reverse is covered with linear scratches which appear deliberate.

The brooch is very similar to an example in Leahy, K. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey, p181 eg 1.
