Description: | A complete iron patten dating from the Post Medieval period. The hoop is made from a band of iron standing on its side and bent into an oval loop. It is 188.37mm long, 6.18mm wide and has a weight of 108.66g. Although now corroded, the key features of the patten are still discernible. The oval frame has a uniform thickness and width throughout, and both protruding platforms survive, though there is a break in the band. There are rivet holes in these, where the patten would have been attached to a wood en upper, or a leather strap to secure the patten to the shoe. The patten was intended to raise the feet from the ground in difficult walking conditions such as mud, to keep them dry and clean. A pattern of the same design of this is illustrated on page 57 of Detector Finds 2 and a mid 17th century to 18th century date is given.
