Description: | Late medieval/ early post medieval iron key, in a state of corrosion. It measures 146.7mm in length and the bow is the widest part at 56mm. It weighs 124.49g.
The bow is oval in shape and c.37mm high. Its internal measurements are 41.5x15.3mm. Corrosion obscures any detail that might exist.
The stem is apparantly circular in section and c.12mm in diameter. It narrows after the bit, where it has a slight overhang of c.10mm. It is not apparantly hollow.
The bit measures 28.7x26.1mm and has a central vertical cut from the bottom edge. Unfortunately corrosion obscures any further cuts in the bit.
Probably 15th/ 16th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
