Description: | An incomplete cast / handmade copper alloy nail, of probable Post Medieval dating (1700 - 1900 AD).The nail consists of an incomplete rectangular head, and a rectangular sectioned shank, which gradually tapers to a blunt point. One side of the shank exhibits a series of fine diagonal lines crossing the surface (possible saw or file marks).The nail is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina.It measures 33.95mm in length, 8.52mm wide and 6.41mm thick. It weighs 6.2 grams.Several similar square or rectangular sectioned nails have been recorded on the PAS database including SWYOR-2831B2, NLM-0BE012, KENT-C471C4 and NLM-FF0376. All are considered to be of Post Medieval - Early Modern dating (1700 to 1900 AD).
