Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur rowel of post-medieval date (c. 16th/17th century AD). The flat rowel originally had seven points, but three are now truncated. There are incised grooves radiating from the centre of the spur to the angle between each point, so that the rowel appears to comprise sub-lozenge-shaped elements. There is a broadly circular central perforation c. 2mm in diameter. The object has a dark-green patina with slight pitting in places. Such rowels date either to the 16th or 17th century; similar examples can be found illustrated in Read (1988; 1995, 127; refs. 805, 806).
