Description: | An incomplete cast iron rowel spur of medieval date. The spur is formed from a Y-shaped piece of metal which is curved allowing it to be worn around the heel. The rowel no longer remains though the rowel box and iron bar remain in situ. Form the wide rowel box the neck of the tapers to join the spur where the two sides meet. The sides of the spur have a narrow, D-shaped section and do not bend to accommodate the ankle suggesting an early date. The sides end in figure of eight terminals and are attached between the two loops at right angles. Still present and corroded to one of the terminals is an attachment fitting for the leathers.The spur is bent out of shape and is very worn and corroded. It is 99.9mm long, 10.6mm wide, 5.2mm thick and weighs 30.4g.A similar example can be seen in Meols, p.209, no.2805.
