Description: | A wrought iron arrowhead or spearhead, 9th -14th century in date. A object is small (length 27.3mm, width 12.75mm). The blade is sub-triangular and rounded in plan and diamond-shaped in cross section. There are two possible parallels illustrated by Jessop, 1997 in 'Medieval arrowheads', Datasheet 22 of the Finds Research Group. Fig 5 is a pre-conquest form dating from the 9th -11th centuries and usually found with burials. It also resembles Fig 7 which is an early multi-purpose form dating to the 11th to 14th centuries. Both would have been used for hunting or warfare. The object has an uneven corroded brown surface and part of the socket has broken off. The weight is 3.8g. The thickness of the blade is 5.82mm.
