Type 266 Small wheel-shaped brooches (Fig 14; 86).<br />

In printed catalogue.<br />

Type 275 Brooches in the shape of a sandal.<br />

Page 193<br />

87 SF LWC 741(C). A240 F75. Pit. 12th century or later. Length 27.0 mm.<br />

Possibly a fragment of a sandal-shaped brooch. On the back are the<br />

remains of two lugs for a hinged pin and part of the catchplate. <strong>The</strong><br />

surface is too pitted to establish whether or not there were any<br />
