Sorry ,I can`t be of any help on this one.

.It does have a Greek (ish) look though but its probably not.

Thanks allectus you certainly know your stuff . What would we do without you . Any idea of the age of it . Its crumbling away already . She found part of a brooch a few metres away

Not much left of that anglo saxon crucifix brooch but bodes well for related finds.
