Description: | Pewter spoon fragment length 46mm, width 11mm, thickness 7mm, weight 11.51g. Only the stem and the very top of the spoon bowl remains. The stem has a hexagonal cross-section 6mm wide by 6mm thick, the top part of the stem has been bent to the left at a right angle, the tip has been snapped of, this is an old break. The opposite end of the stem has the remains of the bowl, here the stem is stepped downwards and expanded on either side, there is a crest on the underside that would have acted a support for the bowl. The bowl is broken at the base so little remains, this is an old break. The artefact has a grey surface with off white powdery corrosion in the recesses, the surface is pitted where it has been weathered and been rolled in the plough soil. This artefact would date to the 14th-17th century.
