The object is a curved bar shaped like a thin number 3 which is circular in section. It is thick at one end and gradually tapers to a diameter of 6.63mm at the other end. There is no decoration of evidence of attachment. The date and function are unknown. The object was found at Towton Battlefield, but it is unlikely to be related to the battle in 1461. Experts from the Centre of Battlefield Archaeology have commented that the metal is too solid too be that old.
