It is rectangular with half of the front plate with one of the upper lugs and part of the central strip surviving. The central strip is seperate to the front plate and has been attached by two seperate circular setioned rivets. It has a rectangle cut out in the centre through which part of the front plate, with part of the keyhole, can be seen. The strip is decorated with an incised line border forming two squares, one above and one below the hole, both decorated with an incised saltire. On the remaining side of the front plate is punched double ring and dot decoration. The flat semi-circular lug extends form the top of the front plate, near the corner and would have held the sqivelling hasp of the padlock. On the side of the front plate is a rectangular indent where the side would have been attached. It is 26.5mm long, 18.4mm wide and 3.3mm thick; it weighs 4.37 grams. There are partches of iron corrosion from the lost mechanism.This padlock is similar to a number on the database (for example SWYOR-119041, LVPL358, NLM2784, HAMP-A46202 and particularly NLM-33C0B6). These padlocks are of a post-medieval date (circa 1650-1850 AD).
