Description: | Two heads of large nails or studs, perhaps from a barn door or similar large object. The pieces are probably Modern, but were found in the same field as the Early Medieval finds SWYOR-1590A4, SWYOR-14ED88, SWYOR-14A685, SWYOR-148980, SWYOR-146DF7, SWYOR-145073, SWYOR-142DD2, SWYOR-13FF91, SWYOR-EB7AA1 and SWYOR-EB10D8, so there is a possibility they are Early Medieval.The more complete nail head is sub rectangular and curved so the face of the head is convex and the reverse is concave. A rectangular sectioned shaft projects from the back, but is not central. The surviving shaft is only 14.3mm long, and is 10.8mm wide and 7.1mm thick. The head is 40.5mm long, 37.4mm wide and 10mm thick. 62.16g.The other nail head is incomplete. The central part of the head and a short length of shaft survive. It is similar in design. The surviving head is 42.8mm long, 24.1mm wide and 14mm thick. The shaft is 8.9mm long, 8.5mm wide and 6.2mm thick. 21.8g.
