Description: | A complete copper alloy nail of probable Post Medieval or Modern date (AD 1700 ? AD 1900). Length 160mm, width 16mm, thickness 16mm. Weight 122.44g.
The nail has a square head as viewed from above and its upper surface is slightly convex. It is chamfered along the edges of its underside. The shank is square in cross-section and beneath the head it is 11mm x 11mm. It tapers evenly along its length. About 30mm from the tip, where its dimensions are 9mm x 9mm, it becomes slightly splayed on two opposite faces. The other two faces are steeply V-shaped in profile near the tip.
The nail is in good condition although it has been abraded by inter-tidal sand and gravel, the context in which it was found. | 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: | 1700
