Description: | A broken part from a copper-alloy post-medieval spur. The remains of the spur consist of a double loop at the end of broken bar. The loops would originally have been used to fasten the spur around the front of the ankle. The break on the bar of the spur has occurred before the projection upon which the rowel would have been placed. The remains of the bar are slightly curved to fit to the wearers leg. This artefact is similar to a number of examples illustrated in Bailey (1995, pages 94-95; figs 20 - 33). It probably dates from the 17th or 18th century.
