Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper alloy rowel or prick spur, in two pieces. The spur is incomplete, missing the rowel box or goad but both the sides and attachment terminals survive. The sides are D shaped in section, with a flat inner side and curved outer side and appear undecorated. The sides widen towards the joint with the neck but there is no crest. The neck has broken close to the joint and only a raised circular projection remains; the break is old. One side has been broken in the middle, the broken fragment survives with the spur. The break is not very recent. The terminals are formed by two loops in a figure of eight, connected on to the side at an angle at the top of the first loop. There is an iron attachment evident in the top loop of the terminal on the broken side. It is heavily corroded. It is probable that the original width of the two spur sides was wider and that the sides have been bent inwards. It is 78.6mm long, 47.6mm wide, the sides are 3.8mm thick and the whole spur weighs 26.6g.
