Description: | A cast lead alloy fitting - possibly a window catch or latch of unknown date - most probably post medieval or modern 1650-1850. The fitting is incomplete it is broadly rectangular in plan and C shaped in cross section. It tapers from one edge to the other. The upper surface has a crude rectangular hole cut through it. The reverse is damaged by the edges being forced together to form a hollow rod. From the style an early modern date is best preferred - probably 1650-1750. A similar but not directly comparable fitting has been recorded by the PAS from Skirpenbeck, Yorkshire (YORYM-47FF66 -http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/262413)The fitting measures 56.5mm length, 13.1mm wide and is 11.4mm thick; it weighs 25.25 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
