Description: | A cast copper alloy thimble of late Medieval date. It has a thickened but undecorated rim, relatively tall and straight sides, and with a dome shaped, pointed top. The sides have circular indentations that spiral upwards from the rim to the pointed top, which at its very centre is bare but not pierced. There is a small oval shaped indentation to one side of the thimble, probably a result of post-depositional damage. The thimble measures 20.61mm in height, 19.73mm in diameter at rim, and weighs 8.71g. This thimble is of probable 14th-15th century AD date, the spiralled arrangement of the indentations and the bare but not pierced top perhaps indicating a date later in the range or perhaps into the 16th century (see Holmes, 1991).
