Description: | Almost complete copper alloy spur dating to the post-medieval period, c. AD 1500-1700. The two spur arms are complete and retain the leather or buckle strap fittings that would have helped secure the spur to the foot. It is likely that a buckle with chape plate and loop found close by (recorded separately as BERK-EDCF14) is part of this same spur. The rowel is missing. The silver appearance of the spur is due to tinning, or a high tin content in the copper alloy. No other details recorded.
