Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy barrel tap key/handle of late medieval or post-medieval date. The tap comprises a cockerel-shaped element adjoining a tapering cylinder with central transverse perforation. It measures 53.7mm by 27.7mm by 5.6mm and weighs 30g. The cockerel is depicted sideways and is flat with an incised ring-and-dot motif on one side to represent an eye. On the other side the ring-and-dot is unfinished. A similar example, NMS-D36F05, complete with housing and spout has been found at Horsham St Faith and Newton St Faith, Norfolk.
