Description: | A cast iron medieval 'forker' arrowhead. These forked arrowhead were used for hunting birds throughout the medieval period, and are actually quite a rare find, especially complete as this example is. The arrowhead has a circular socket that has suffered only minor damage. Arrowheads are very hard to date as many forms were in use for several hundred years - this example dates from the 11th to 16th centuries. The arrowhead measures 62.16mm long, the widest point between the forks is 39.00mm and the maximum diameter of the socket is 14.65mm. It weighs 15.2gms.
