Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bifuricated tap key of Post-Medieval date. The base of the key below the terminal is incomplete due to old breaks. It has the remains of a shaft that is circular in section, expanding to the bifuricated terminal. This has two downward curving arms that are lozenge shaped in section and taper to flattened and projecting triangular terminals with incised grooves separating the terminals and arms. It measures 92.41mm in width, 32.15mm in height/length, 21.10mm in thickness, and weighs 199.66g.This is a Post-Medieval barrel tap key similar to an example published from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 932; see also SF-3FE253, LVPL-9FED07 and HAMP-AD8358). These are interpreted as an intermediate type between Medieval and 18th century tap keys, and are dated to the 17th century AD.
