Description: | Part of an iron horseshoe, probably dating from the medieval period. It is 109.85mm long, 24.87mm wide and 5.6mm thick. It weighs 40.24g. The horseshoe does not have a calkin (turned up area at the end), nor a fuller (groove in which the nails fit) and 3 nail holes survive. These are square and large. Less than half of the shoe survives. It probably dates from the 14th or 15th century. It was found on Towton Battlefield, so it may have been lost in 1461. See Medieval Horseshoes by John Clark, FRG datasheet number 4.
