Description:		A copper-alloy annular brooch of the Anglo-Saxon period. The brooch is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section, locally reduced at one point to fit the pin (now missing). The frame is decorated with multiple bands of three to five radial ribs spaced around the front face. The flat back face is plain. See also UKDFD 43188.

Description:		A copper-alloy annular brooch of the early Anglo-Saxon period. It is circular in shape and decorated with radial grooves in four groups of three, spaced around the ring. There is also a single groove between two of the groups, which would have served as a pin rest. Opposite the single groove, the section of the ring is reduced to fit the pin, which is now missing. The back of the brooch is plain. Note regarding dating More elaborate annular brooches, but with similar groove decoration around the ring are known in silver. They have confronted style II animal-head terminals, which permit dating to circa mid 6th to mid 7th century AD. (Cf. British Museum Guide to Anglo-Saxon Antiquities, p.48, Fig.49.) Similar decoration in the form of groups of transverse grooves is also found on wrist clasps of late 5th to 6th century date (cf. UKDFD 4316).

Description:		An annular brooch in the form of two stylised fantastic animals, conjoined at their heads and tails. The bodies and heads of the animals are punch-marked to represent scales, and the necks, which are of reduced cross-section, are plain. The cross-section is also reduced between the heads to fit the copper-alloy pin, which survives intact. The back of the brooch is flat and plain. Note regarding dating Richard Hattatt, Iron Age and Roman Brooches, dates an almost identical brooch (No.695) to the Anglo-Saxon period (6th - 7th century AD). He comments, "Three similar, but with more slender bodies, came from early Anglo-Saxon graves at Uncleby. The same form of heads to mouth and the bodies in a loop appears on a buckle of the sixth century found at Mitcham." Brian Read, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, dates another very similar example (No.609) circa 13th - 14th century. In view of the evidence cited by Hattatt, the earlier date seems more likely.

Description:		A penannular copper-alloy brooch with ribbed hoop and faceted cuboid terminals. There are five separate bands of ribbing on the front of the ring, and four raised dots in a lozenge-shaped recess on each of the terminals. The brooch is of Fowler Type G1, which spans the period circa 4th-9th century AD. A fragment of the copper-alloy pin survives. The brooch is silvered or tinned.

Description:		A copper-alloy annular brooch, tentatively attributed to the early Anglo-Saxon period. It is circular in cross-section and decorated with radial grooves in four equally spaced bands around the ring. Two opposing bands have three grooves, and the other two bands have multiple grooves. The pin, which is complete except for its tip, is fitted to a locally reduced section of the ring at the centre of one of the larger bands of grooves. It is of circular cross-section, flattened at the attachment end. The back of the brooch is plain. Note regarding dating More elaborate annular brooches, but with similar groove decoration around the ring are known in silver. They have confronted style II animal-head terminals, which permit dating to circa mid 6th to mid 7th century AD. (Cf. British Museum Guide to Anglo-Saxon Antiquities, p.48, Fig.49.) Similar decoration in the form of groups of transverse grooves is also found on wrist clasps of late 5th to 6th century date (cf. UKDFD 13988). Cf. UKDFD 2275 and UKDFD 9527.

Description:		An annular brooch cast in the form of two fantastic animals, with the pin located on a constriction between their opposing heads. The animals have long necks, which appear to emerge from serpent-like bodies, rather like a turtle emerging from its shell. The necks are plain, but the bodies are decorated with lines of opposing punched triangles. From the neck end to the tail, the bodies progressively taper, and the tips of the two tails are moulded such that they appear to twist around each other, the coils thus formed furnishing a pin-rest. The copper-alloy pin is slender and probably made from sheet metal. Richard Hattatt (see first Ref. below) comments that three similar brooches, but with more slender bodies, came from early Anglo-Saxon graves at Uncleby, Yorkshire, and also that the same form of heads mouth to mouth and bodies in a loop appears on a buckle of the sixth century found at Mitcham.

Description:		A cast copper-alloy annular brooch in the form of two stylised fantastic animals, conjoined at their heads and tails. The bodies of the animals are punch-marked to represent scales and the necks, which are of reduced cross-section, are plain. The cross-section is also reduced between the heads to fit the copper-alloy pin, which survives intact. At the junction of the tails is a three-dimensional animal (?cat's) head with pointed ears. Note regarding dating Richard Hattatt, Iron Age and Roman Brooches, dates a very similar brooch (No.695) to the Anglo-Saxon period (6th - 7th century AD). He comments, "Three similar, but with more slender bodies, came from early Anglo-Saxon graves at Uncleby. The same form of heads to mouth and the bodies in a loop appears on a buckle of the sixth century found at Mitcham." Brian Read, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, dates another very similar example (No.809) circa 13th - 14th century. In view of the evidence cited by Hattatt, the earlier date seems more likely. Further support for an Anglo-Saxon date is also provided by other finds from the same site, viz. UKDFD 21920 and UKDFD 21922. Cf. UKDFD 9662
