Description: | A corroded and damaged probably medieval cast iron rotary key. The key has a solid stem of oval cross-section and slightly flattened sides. The slightly narrowed bow is oval but has an element missing. At the other end, the bit has two asymmetrical rectangular cleft leaving a generally 'S' shaped bit, with the continuation of the stem narrowed above. The section between the wards is recessed. The form is not completely diagnostic but is plausibly medieval.
