Description: | A slightly worn and corroded cast copper-alloy spur rowel. The rowel is in the shape of a six-pointed star. The tapering arms are rectangular with rounded corners in cross-section. Their points are abraded to varying degrees and one point has been bent. There is central circular perforation through the body of the rowel through which the rivet attaching it to the spur would have travelled (Dia.: 5.05mm). The artefact has a dull green patina where it survives with patches of a brighter green corrosion product. Undecorated and corroded, such rowels are undiagnostic (see, for example, Read 2001, 66; fig. 42); a wide medieval to post-medieval date is therefore offered.
