Cast guard with bifurcated quillons, each of which retains one oval-ended lobe with a slight nipple at its end and the broken stub of another, with a further two oval loops above.

Traces of curvilinear, possibly floral, ornament remain. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650.Height: 28.6mm, Width: 116.4mm, Thickness: 13.5mm, Weight: 71.64gms.
