Description: | The incomplete, corroded iron spring mechanism from the bolt of a cast padlock of probable medieval date. The artefact has a circular end plate. From one surface of the end plate a pair of springs protrude. On one of these the side barbs survive very well. A slide (or squeeze) key would have squeezed the barbs against the springs such that the bolt could be removed from the case (see Egan 1998, 92; fig. 64). | 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: | 1150
