Description: | A representative sample of iron nails probably of Roman date (but possibly later). All are of square or rectangular section and the lengths range from 114.3mm down to 13.4mm.

Currently there are 562 nails in the collection weighing a total of 3493gMany of these nails were surface finds and most have been conserved in the past with varnish to prevent further corrosion.
