Weird.  It really has no spring, just bends over to form a pin.  A crude bird or pelta manufactured by some local smith or soldier-blacksmith??  So crude and unique that it is hard to tell age.  But iron fibulae were relatively rare in Roman times and more common in late celtic (unlikely here) or post-Roman - Byzantine and Germanic from 6th-7th c.  Maybe that is when this fits in but that is just a guess.
