Description: | A small key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is oval and fairly small (now broken). There is no collar next to the bow. The stem is solid, with a flattened circular section, the end of the stem is hollow. The bit is simple, consisting of a sub-rectangular plate of copper alloy. There are two slight notches, one in either side of the bit, forming a figure-of-eight shape. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour and is pitted. The key is medieval in date. Parallels can be seen in Egan, p112-3, Fig: 86.
