Description: | Copper alloyLock. Cast octagonal lock case with an internal central pin towards one end to retain leaf springs (now lost); a rectangular lug apparently soldered to the barrel retains a round-section bolt. An incised circumferential line at either end limits a zone of decoration comprising lines of wavy, slanted and straight lines.A close parallel for this type of lock comes from a 13th-century context in London (Egan 1998, page 93 no. 244). Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1300. Length: 48.5mm, Width: 25.6mm, Thickness: 11.7mm, Weight: 15.55gms.
