Description: | A probable cockspur fashioned from steel wire and almost certainly of 20th century date.The spur has two 'fingers' each fashioned by a wire with sharpened tips. Below the fingers, the wire is knotted, and there is a shank leading from the knot to an attachment. However, the attachment/fitting for the leg no longer survives, as the shank was cut.The FLO did not see the object in person, but has provided this description from a photograph. It seems likely the object is a homemade cockspur fashioned after cock-fighting was made illegal. The item was found in a garden allotment while planting. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
