Description: | A cast copper alloy post-medieval spur.
The broken rowel box, the neck and two broken sides all survive. Only one terminal survives, a figure of eight fitting is attached to the terminal of the spur. The broken side is very worn and corroded. Both of the sides have been badly bent out of shape.
The rowel box is also broken and corroded, so little detail can be seen.
The sides have a D-section.
The neck is short and thickens towards the rowel box.
The metal is slightly pitted and much of the original surface has been lost. The surface is a mid reddish-green colour.
This spur probably dates from circa 1650 ? 1800. | 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: | 1650
