Description: | A complete wrought iron horseshoe of later medieval date. It has a rounded outer edge and an inner profile resembling a pointed arch. There is fairly clear evidence for six nail holes, arranged three-three. The holes are rectangular and taper in profile. One partial nail survives in situ. At the heel end calkins survive on both sides, turned down through ninety degrees. The artefact generally survives well. It has a maximum web width of c. 44.4mm, and a minimum of c. 24.5mm at the heel. The internal gap at the heel measures 34.7mm. This 'later medieval' form can be found illustrated in Clark (1986, 3; fig. 8).
