Rounded outer edge but arched inner edge - the point of the arch disappears by the end of the sixteenth century. Relatively long branches with heels inclined together, there is one downturned calkin. There were probably three, rectangular, nail holes on each branch with remnants of two nails in situ. Badly worn indicating this is a right fore leg shoe, lead, near side horse. There is rusty surface corrsion. This was probably used as a draught horse shoe. Ref.
