Description: | A complete wrought iron horseshoe of later medieval date. It has a rounded outer edge and an inner profile resembling a pointed arch. There are seemingly six nail holes, arranged three-three. The holes are rectangular and taper in profile. Two nails survive partially in situ. At the heel end one side has a right-angled calkin, while the other is typically angled and without a calkin. The artefact is highly corroded but generally survives well. It has a maximum web width of c. 37.4mm, and a minimum of c. 22mm at the calkin. The internal gap at the heel measures 43.2mm. This 'later medieval' form can be found illustrated in Clark (1986, 3; fig. 8). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
