Description: | An iron horseshoe dating from the post medieval or modern period. The shoe is 134.6mm long, 131.5mm wide and 16mm thick. It has a fuller (groove) on the ground surface in which the head of the nails would sit. This is characteristic of post-medieval and later shoes. The front of the toe is missing, so it is impossible to tell if there was a turn-up at the front. The shoe does not appear to have calkins (thickened areas at the ends of the shoe). It is somewhat corroded, which may explain its great weight of 612g. The shoe is also very wide, another feature that suggests a date in the seventeenth, eighteenth or nineteenth centuries (Clark 1986). The nail holes are obscured by corrosion. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
