Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy spur of Post-Medieval date, probably seventeenth century (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length 39.6mm, width 17.9mm and 3.0mm thick. Weight 5.09g.The fragment consists of part of the side with a figure-8 terminal. The portion of the side is D-shaped in cross-section, flat on the inner face. It has a length of 21.0mm, is 6.8mm in width and has a thickness of 2.7mm. One loop of the terminal forms a projection at an obtuse angle and the edge of the projecting loop is incomplete, probably due to wear. The diameter of the perforations forming each loop is about 5.0mm.The fragment is in good condition and generally has a mid-green patina overall. However, there are small patches of copper alloy corrosion products. The transverse break on the side is old.
