Penannular brooches were made of a circular loop with a gap where the pin went through. These brooches are sometimes made of wire and often undecorated. These brooches (AN1966.24 & 1966.29) were both found at Brighthampton in Oxfordshire and are made of iron. |
| This type of brooch was worn in England before the Anglo-Saxons arrived and continued to be used into the medieval period. |  |
