Description: | An iron arrowhead of medieval date. The arrowhead is 75.4mm long, 17.1mm wide and 10.5mm thick. The head is triangular and can be classed as a spearhead type of arrow. It is likely that these were used throughout the medieval period for a variety of uses, both warfare and hunting. The arrowhead has a socket. It is generally agreed that it is impossible to date arrowheads from the form alone. The iron is in good condition but is corroded. Similar examples can be seen on page 86 of the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Medieval Catalogue, Part 1. Another similar example on the database is SWYOR-4E1B76. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
