Description: | An incomplete post-medieval copper alloy rowel spur. Only one arm, the neck and rowel-box survive. The rowel is missing. The arm, which is a little bent, terminates in a elongated S-shape/figure-of-eight forming two loops with a rivet in each. Both rivets measure approximately 3 mm in diameter on the underside and have a wide flat head (approximately 9 mm in diameter) which projects from a neck which measures approximately 3 mm long. The head of these rivets are decorated with a central circle around which there is a further engrailed circle. An attachment loop is still attached to rivet nearest the arm, and this has a second projecting loop situated at 90 degrees to the plane of the loop attached to the rivet. The spur is likely to be 17th to 18th century in date. The spur measures 70.89 mm in length, 25.87 mm wide at its widest, 3.77 mm thick and weighs 16.1 grams. It has a predominantly dark brown patina.
