Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. It is missing its terminals, rowel and most of one side of the frame due to old breaks. The frame is D-shaped in section and taper from the thicker central area towards the missing terminals. A centrally placed and integrally cast rowel box is formed from two arms, spaced 3mm apart. The terminals of the rowel box are broken across each circular hole, which would have held the bar and rowel. The rowel box is oval in section.This spur frame measures 65.2mm in current length and 9.5mm at its widest. The rowel box measures 27.1mm high from the frame surface, 8mm in thickness and 6mm in width. The object weighs 13.4g. The spur has a reddish brown patina.This is an incomplete rowl spur of Post-Medieval date similar to examples recorded on this database (see SF-3329A8, SF-F26354 and ESS-60B064) and by Margeson (1993: nos. 1799-1800). Spurs of this type date to between the 17th and 18th centuries AD.
