Description: | Unusual Late Saxon/Medieval stirrup terminal, cast in the form of an angular splayed three-toed foot with a double collar around the mouth that contains a fragment of the side of the iron spur, and a rectangular perforation on the reverse from which the horizontal bar would have projected, of which a fragment remains in situ. The terminal must have been cast around the iron spur as there is no sign of a join on the reverse. The toes are defined by two deep notches, above which are four horizontal incised lines. There are four similar lines on one side of the terminal and a more deeply engraved border containing three oblique lines on the other side. 16mm x 23mm. This terminal is unlike any in David Williams's provisional classification (unpublished), although it could be argued that it is perhaps a developed form of his Class L. 11th-12th century.
