Roman brooch, Luce Sands

Luce Sands
A small and very corroded Roman brooch.  It was found on Luce Sands and once formed part of Reverend Anderson's collection of local antiquities.   A number of Roman objects have been found on Luce Sands including two coin hoards and a cremation burial.  Luce Sands may have been a beach market for traders and merchants based on the Cumbrian - Roman - side of the Solway.
