Description: | 1700-1815. Forged, wrought iron, broken but nearly complete tongue horseshoe. Length 94mm, Width 126mm, Thickness 13mm, Weight 188g. 'U' shaped, rounded outer and inside edges with relatively wide frog and heels apart. No fullering or calkins present. Very rusty surface with one heel and the front edge missing. If this is due to wear it would indicate the shoe was from a foreleg. The corrosion has obliterated any nail holes but this horse shoe was probably from a riding horse. Ref. Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1997, page 40-41 and Old Horseshoes, Shire Album 19, Ivan G. Sparkes, Shire Publishing, page 17-21 & Inside cover.
