Findspot record TR 24 NE 93 - La Tene Brooche: Waldershare Park
Summary
A Le Tene Brooch found in 1996 during a rally at Waldershare Park. The brooch is 36mm in length and slightly worn and distorted, the pin and all the spring except one coil are missing. The arched bow is circular in cross section and lightly decorated with two groups of transverse moulded ridges and incised lines. On the foot, which returns parallel to the base line, there is a small, undecorated oval disc, with a spalyed projection beyond, forming a flattened, thistle-shaped terminal. Probably datable to the fourth century BC.
