Description: | Four hand wrought iron nails. Each shaft is square in section and each tapers along its length. The head of the nail is square in plan and triangular in section (the head is a faceted dome). 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 nails are a mid brown orange colour with encrusted and laminating surfaces.The nails have a bulk weight of 78.6 grams.The largest straight nail has a length of 99.1mm, the shaft has a maximum width / thickness of 7.1mm x 5.3mm the head measures 13.1mm width and 14.9mm thickness. It weighs 16.8 grams.
