Description: | A copper ally key dating to the late Early Medieval period. The shank is octagonal in cross-section 3mm in diameter and approximately 73mm in length if straight. The shank is damaged and now slightly angled. At the top of the shaft is a loop formed by bending over an integral strip. The other end has a simple bit, originally rectangular or square, but now with only two prongs set at a right angle to the shaft. The key is similar to another recorded on the PAS database from Whissonsett, Norfolk as NMS-CA9E21.
