Description: | Copper alloyTwo Possible Ferrules (a and b). Each is a cast and milled tapered hollow cylinder with a solid apical round-ended lug with a transverse aperture of diameter circa 2.5mm. These objects were attached to thin wooden rods, of which mineralised traces remain, the union being reinforced by a transverse rivet at the base of the ferrule. These are the latest objects of this type to be reported from this vicinity; others include NLM-EA3537, NLM-6638E0 and NLM-662EE3. Their function is unknown, though it was presumably mundane and domestic. This pair are of different sizes but appear to have been functionally identical, with a particular role played by the terminal lugs. This reporter would welcome more informed comment as to their date and purpose Suggested date: Possibly Post-Medieval to Modern, 1750-1850Dimensions (a): Length 29mm, Diameter: 9.5mm, Thickness (tube wall): 0.7mm, Weight: 8.04gms.Dimensions (b): Length: 19.4mm, Diameter: 6.4mm, Thickness (tube wall): 0.6mm, Weight: 2.16gms.
