Description: | Possibly complete and very corroded horseshoe of probable Post-medieval, seventeenth century date. Length 147mm, width 148mm and 14mm thick at the heel. Weight 422g.The horseshoe has a keyhole shaped frog and the toe and quarter are narrow in relation to the feathered heels which are splayed but become more pointed at the terminals. There is no evidence for calkins or toe clips. The shoe is slightly fullered on the ground surface. Holes for nails appear to be absent. A horseshoe of similar size and shape is illustrated in Sparkes, I. G. 1998, 18. For further information on horseshoes see Clark 1986.
