Title
Late Iron Age to early Roman Langton Down brooch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Iron Age to early Roman Langton Down brooch dating to the period AD 25-60. Only the wings, part of the spring and upper bow survive. The lower bow, foot and pin are missing.

The wings are cylindrical in shape and composed of a folded sheet. The ends are open, revealing deposition residue inside and within this the remains of a spring made of circular-sectioned copper-alloy wire. This small section of spring and a small part of the pin extension is exposed by the ovate perforation dividing the wings.

The bow extends downwards from the base of the wings. It is broadly trapezoidal in shape, terminating in an old and uneven transverse break, and is D-shape in cross-section.

The wings are undecorated but the upper bow has moulded decoration in the form of two arched ridges and below this six vertical ridges. The reverse of the bow is undecorated.

The brooch is 13.8mm long. The wings are 17mm diameter and 8.3mm maximum diameter. The bow is a maximum of 10mm wide and 2.1mm thick. The brooch weighs 2.98 grams.
