Description: | The terminal and a fragment of one side of a copper-alloy spur. This fragment measures 49mm in length and is 26mm in width, across its terminal end. The side fragment has a pointed oval shaped cross-section and is rectangular in plan, the terminal is a figure-of-eight type with the side joining it in the centre of both loops, one is longer than the other and both have small circular holes through their centres, one hole has traces of iron corrosion around it. Fragments of spur are very difficult to date, from this terminal fragment it is impossible to know if this was originally a prick or rowel spur, this can only be known with certainty if the rowel box, or prick survives. This terminal fragment is perhaps most likely to be post medieval, circa 1500-1700 in date. | 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
