Description: | A cock spur, made of cast copper alloy. The prick has an oval section and tapers to a blunt point. The spur is 28.59mm long. The spur is integral to a circular loop or ring, which would originally be fitted around the leg. The loop is set perpendicular to the spur and is oval in plan. One terminal is slightly narrower than the lower edge. In profile the loop is sub-rectangular with a lip along the lower edge. There are also four holes evenly spaced around the lower edge. The surface of the cockspur has an incomplete mid green patina. The cockspur measures 33.13mm long, 14.47mm wide and 13.58mm thick. It weighs 2.65g.The cockspur is probably dated to the Medieval to early Post-Medieval periods considering the condition of the patina.
