Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. It is missing its terminals, rowel and most of one side due to old breaks. The remaining side is oval in section, now slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and tapers from the thicker centre of the object towards the missing terminal. At the centre of the outer face is an integrally cast rowel box formed from two long arms with rounded terminals that have central circular apertures. The neck joining the rowel box to the sides of the spur is oval shaped in section and has moulded, beaded decoration and a transverse collar. This spur measures 20.07mm in current (bent) width, 81.76mm in current (bent) length, 7.77mm in maximum height, 3.23mm in thickness, the rowel box measures 7.55mm in width, 6.68mm in thickness and 23.15mm in length, the entire object weighs 11.17g.This is an incomplete rowel 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.
