Description: | A cast copper alloy hooked tag of probable post-medieval date. The hooked tag measures 34.2mm by 16mm by 1.5mm and weighs 2g. It has an openwork circular plate with a wavy edge, a rectangular loop for sewing and a sharp-pointed backwards curving hook at the opposite end, which is slightly distorted. The plate is perforated by small circular holes, arranged with a group of four in each quadrant of the circle. A similar hooked tag, from Cockington, Devon, is illustrated in Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' (1995, p. 118, no. 764).
