Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. It is missing its terminals and rowel due to old breaks. The sides are D-shaped in section, now slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and taper from the thicker centre of the object towards the missing terminals. At the centre of the outer face is an integrally cast rowel box formed from two arms (now pressed together due to post-depositional damage) with rounded terminals that have central circular apertures and moulded vertical collars. The undecorated neck joining the rowel box to the sides of the spur is oval shaped in section. This spur measures 92.90mm in current (bent) width, 64.41mm in current (bent) length, 8.15mm in maximum height, 3.96mm in thickness, the rowel box measures 8.39mm in width, 6.73mm in thickness and 18.45mm in length, the entire object weighs 21.35g.This is an incomplete rowl spur of Post-Medieval date similar to examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. SF-F26354 and ESS-60B064) and by Margeson (1993: nos. 1799-1800). It probably dates to between the 17th and 18th centuries AD, c.1600-1800 AD.
