Description: | 113.53An unidentified iron object which is 113.53mm long, 65.57mm wide and 8.58mm thick. It weighs 98.88g. The object is a rectangular plate which tapers at one end and has curved shoulders at the other end. In the centre of the thicker side is a pointed projection, perhaps a tang which is thicker than the plate and which tapers to a point. There is no decoration nor any other features such as attachments visible. The date and function of this object is not known, though it may be a tool of some sort. The object was found at Towton Battlefield, but experts from the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology feel that the condition of the metal suggests a much later date in the late post medieval or modern period.
