Description: | An iron hooked artefact of unknown date. The hooked terminal is well formed from a length of square sectioned iron bar albeit crudely worked. It tapers along its length; the terminal is bent into a U shape. A direct parallel has not been found. It is possible due to the nature of the site that these are Roman in date although due to the nature of the artefact type and its longevity it is very difficult to date specifically. A broad date range of 50 AD - 1850 is suggested. The hook is a mid brown orange colour with encrusted and laminating surfaces.The hook measures: 108.3mm length, 7.8mm width, 7.2mm thick and weighs 36.7 grams.
