Description: | A Post-Medieval, cast, copper-alloy spur fragment. One terminal and a small fragment of one arm remains of the spur, the rest is lost due to an old break. The arm fragment is D-shaped in section with a flat back and convex front. The terminal is flat with a rounded outer edge. The terminal is divided into three sections, delineated by incised lines. The outer section is sub-circular and the section attached to the arm sub-triangular, each with a circular hole in its centre for attachment of the straps. The centre section is also sub-triangular and has a circular indentation in its centre, possibly also meant to be a hole that has not cast successfully.These figure-of-eight-shaped terminals are commonly found on spurs from the 15th to 17th centuries and those with an extra, small hole, are thought to date towards the end of this range in the 17th century. This example may be of this later date with the possible extra hole.
