Description: | A copper-alloy rowel spur of post-medieval date. The spur is U shaped and has both terminals remaining. The terminals are of double looped figure eight shape. One loop on each side has ferrous corrosion filling it. One of the terminals has snapped and been glued back into place by the finder. The sides of the spur are flat on the interior and rounded externally, giving the object a D shaped section. From the back of the spur a neck protrudes which would once have terminated in the spur rowel which is now missing. Traces of iron survive in the groove for the rowel. The spur measures 73.74 mm long, 48.46 mm wide and is 7.82 mm thick. It weighs 20.7 grams.
