Description: | A post medieval - Modern iron incomplete lance head (16th - 17th century). The lance head is broken through the square-sectioned socket and the butt is missing. The blade of the lance head has a square cross-section that narrows to a point. The cross-section changes to circular just before the socket. The walls of the socket have two opposing circular perforations probably for securing the lance head to the wooden haft. The shape of the socket is slightly distorted due to damage. There is no visible marker's mark.The iron is in good condition with no corrosion.Dimensions: length: 144.5mm; width:14mm; thickness: 14mm; weight: 94.8g.Identification and dating by Tony Pilson based on foreshore context.
