Description: | A fragment of a Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy rowel spur. The majority of the sides are missing and the rowel is also missing. There is no crest. The small portions of the sides are roughly 'D'-shaped in cross-section, convex on the outer face and very slightly convex on the inner face. It has a short neck which is oval in cross-section, about 6.7 x 5.1mm. The neck blends in evenly to the rowel box and the slot for the rowel is 12.4mm in length and 2.4mm in width. In plan, the box flares outwards to the end where there is a small lobe at each side with a hole containing an iron pin. The width at the lobed end, from one end of the pin to the other end, is 11.7mm.The fragment has a patchy mid to dark green patina and the pin is obscured by iron corrosion. The breaks appear to be old but they are not abraded.39.1 x 28.3 x 11.4mm. Weight: 13.52g.
