Description: | Copper-alloy goad from a prick spur. It is pyramidal in shape, springing from a lozengiform base which measures 16 x 13.5 mm from corner to corner. From the centre of the base emerges the circular-section neck, which begins at a diameter of 6 mm but which is split apart for most of its length by iron corrosion. There is a little iron corrosion at the apex of the pyramid too, so there may be an iron bar running right through the goad. This may be all that survives of a copper-alloy coated iron spur, or the goad may have been the only piece made of iron.
