Description: | Incomplete copper alloy ?nail? of probable Post Medieval or Modern date (from AD 1500). Length 79.4mm, width 17mm and 17mm thick. Weight 82.65g. The nail has a square head, 17mm x 17mm, which is slightly domed on its upper surface and it has a chamfered underside edge. The tapered shank is square in cross-section, 12mm x 12mm beneath the head. At the other end, where there is an old break, the shank is 9mm x 9mm. Alternatively, this might be a clench-bolt and used in association with a rove, in which case it might be classified as a large rivet. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1500 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
