Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy barrel tap of probable eighteenth or early nineteenth century date (AD 1700 - AD 1850). Length 76.0mm, width 59.0mm and 16.0mm thick. Weight 110.72g. The tap has a cylindrical stem and a flaring winged type handle. The main part of the spout is curved downwards and has eight facets but the extreme end of the spout is circular in cross-section. On the upper part of the stem, just below a flange there is an inscribed capital letter B. The spigot is missing due to an old break. The tap is in good condition and has a shiny dark green patina overall. A similar barrel tap has been recorded from Battle Parish, East Sussex. See Portable Antiquities Scheme find: SUSS-1FF3C6. Note also, an article on barrel taps and barrel keys by Gordon Bailey (Bailey 1995, 60-63). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
