Description: | A copper alloy domed thimble, probably of Post Medieval date with angled sides and a slightly domed top. The thimble has small circular indentations arranged in a regular spiral across the top with no tonsure and indendtations arranged in a spiral around the sides. The thimble is squashed at the base. It measures 17.65mm in height. The base is now 24.2mm by 10.2mm and the top is 16.8mm by 13.8mm. The sides are 0.9mm thick and the thimble weighs 4.91g.There is no evidence of folding in the rim which could suggest that it is cast rather than made from sheet metal. Egan (2005, p. 132) illustrates similar examples, numbers 624, 627, 636, which he dates between 1450-1600 AD.
