Description: | Incomplete corroded iron arrowhead. The arrowhead has a pronounced central socket, circular in section and which is now damaged around the mouth. The arrowhead itself is small and compact and is roughly leaf shaped, now missing its tip. The object is heavily corroded and it is difficult to distinguish the barbs, but these were presumably positioned downwards and close to the socket. The faces of the arrowhead are flat without a central rib. There is some material remaining in the socket, possibly a wooden shaft. The object is 69.6mm long, 19.16mm wide, 3.12mm thick and weighs 10.8g. It is heavily corroded and in poor condition. It is probably 11th-14th century in date, and probably used for a military purpose. See the Finds Research Group data sheet 22, figure 12 for an example of this family of arrowhead. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
