Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval barrel padlock case dating to the 12th or 13th Century. The case is a short round cylinder with a broad, flat, upright arm extending from the top at one end. The attached bar has been broken off. The flat arm is pierced with a circular hole at its base. The case has a T shaped key hole at the end by the bar and the other end shows the internal structure as having a vertical, diving slat down the centre, suggesting that the bolt had two spring mechanisms. The other part of the padlock which would be locked in place the sprung parts are missing.
