Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy rowel spur of Post-Medieval date, probably seventeenth century (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length: 58.8mm; width: 17.1mm and 4.1mm thick. Weight: 9.93g.This fragment consists of about half of one of the sides including the terminal. Viewed from the side it is straight. The fragment tapers in width from and old break towards the terminal. At the break the width is 8.2mm and just before the terminal the width is 6.8mm. The side is D-shaped in cross-section, flat on the inner face and convex on the outer face. The side terminates with a figure-8 terminal. The loops are integral with the side and are set at an angle of about 45° to the side. Between the side and the terminal there is a transverse rib. There is no evidence for any decoration or surface treatment. The piece has a light to mid-green patina which is obscured in places by a patchy concretion of iron corrosion.
