Description: | Large iron key, probably dating from the medieval, post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1200-1900. Key like this are very difficult to date if found out of context. They are not difficult to made out of wrought iron and very basic in design: this one is a large iron key with a suspension loop at one end and a bent hook at the other, probably just to slide the bar or turn a very basic look. Usually, if they are as well preserved as this, they date from the medieval or later periods, rarely to the Roman period or Iron Age.
