Description: | Probably part of an iron horseshoe, possibly dating from the medieval period. It is 91.45mm long, 43.51mm wide and 4.59mm thick. It weighs 56.16g. Only part of the shoe survives and both ends are missing. It does not have a fuller (groove in which the nails fit) and 2 nail holes survive. These are small, oval and irregular. It may date 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.
