Description: | An iron object, probably a bolt or screw, of uncertain date. It has a square head and tapering rectangular shaft that is square in section. Approximately half way down the shaft expands on one side, but this may be the result of corrosion or encrustation. Towards the base of the shaft there is a large square projection that in form resembles a rove or bolt through which the shaft passes. The entire object has suffered from extensive corrosion and encrustation to the degree that the surfaces are extremely fragile and the form is not entirely apparent. It measures 73.27mm in length, 13.24mm in width at head, and weighs 29.96g. The date and function of this object remain uncertain. Its findspot might indicate a date in the Roman or Early-Medieval periods, however a later date cannot immediately be ruled out.
