Description: | A small key, cast in copper alloy - cast as one piece. The bow is circular in shape. The section of the metal loop used to make the bow is flat with rounded corners. There is a moulding (or collar) next to the bow which is somewhat mis-cast and crude. The stem is solid and terminates with a projecting tip. The stem has a flattened section with rounded edges/ corners. The bit is simple. It is square in shape. Two small clefts have been cut from the bit forming three wards. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour, with little wear. The key is probably medieval in date.
