Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, forged, wrought iron, large size, tongue draught horseshoe (1700-1815). This has a 'U' or tunnel shaped inner edge plan with a relatively wide frog and heels wide apart - usually used on draught horses. There are four rectangular nail holes, three with nails in situ on one branch and all four nail holes with one in situ on the other branch. There are small, tapering, down turned calkins and no fullering which could indicate an early date. The horseshoe is complete with four nails and has a relatively even brown surface. This horseshoe is likely to date to around 1700. Ref. Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1997, page 40-41 and Old Horseshoes, Shire Publication 19, Ivan. G. Sparkes, Shire Publishing, page 17-21, page 21 bottom right and inside cover. The horseshoe is 147.43mm long, 144.65mm wide, 20.47mm thick and weighs 602g.
