Traces of tinning remaining. The panel has three plain ridges alternated with notched ridges, a pair of side lugs at the bottom. Rolled plate at head to create a hinge, the foot is triangular with pair of notches and flat knop terminal. Pin missing, the surface with a blue-green patina.

Hod Hill type brooches are often found on military sites and tend to date to just after the Roman conquest of Britain.
