Description: | A circular flat headed iron stud of uncertain date. The head has a diameter of 24.95mm, is 3.75mm thick and undecorated. On the lower surface at the centre is an integral square sectioned shank. The shank measures c.6.90mm x c.6.90mm by the head and tapers to c.3.30mm x c.3.30mm. The shank currently has a length of 18.23mm and ends with an irregular diagonal tip. It is unlikely that this is the complete length but it is uncertain how much longer the shank was or what shape the tip was. The stud weighs 6.62g. Ancient iron artefacts rarely survive in the ploughsoil so a more recent date is more likely although older dates can not be ruled out.See Bishop, M.C. 1996, p.61-2, fig.34, no.372, 375 & 376 and Crummy, N. 1983, p.116-8, fig.120, with particular attension to no's. 3098, 3100, 3101, 3105, 3110, 3111, 3134 & 3173.
