The acorn has an elongated oval shape with a thinner 'nut' with a small oval knop at the top, a raised collar across the middle and a broader cup below decorated with raised small circles and with a small square stem projecting at the bottom. The end of the stem appears broken with an old break. The back is concave. The attachment spikes are arranged along the centre line and circular in section. They taper towards the ends and end in sharp points. The ends are bent upwards 90 degrees. It is 20.3mm long by 8.7mm wide, 1.8mm thick excluding the rivets, 4.7mm including. It weighs 1.63 grams.Read (2001) illustrates a similar example with a complete stem (p.37, no.333) which he dates to 1600-1700 AD.
