Description:		An incomplete strap-end of composite three-piece construction, consisting of a cast spacer and two sheet plates. The cast spacer is probably forked and has a devolved animal-head terminal. The front plate is decorated with ten punched ring-and-dot motifs arranged in two rows of five. The back plate is plain. The attachment end is incomplete, and all surfaces are severely corroded, thus obscuring any surviving rivets.

Description:		An incomplete Late Iron Age brooch of La Tène III type. The bow is D-shaped in section, tapering at the foot end and terminating in a solid catchplate. Only a fraction of the integral bilateral spring pin survives.  It is unclear whether the notches on the bow are decorative or the result of damage. The La Tène III brooch is a derivative of the continental Nauheim type. It evolved on the continent around the beginning of the 1st century BC, and was brought to Britain by the Belgae.
