Description: | A probably Medieval wooden peg. The peg has a rectangular cuboid head and a tapering shaft. The shaft appears to have a pointed oval cross-section near the point but the survival of the wood may mean this is not an accurate representation of the original shape. There are sections of the cuboid head missing. The finder reported that when the peg was found there appeared to be white metal plates pinned to each of the longer sides of the head. The plates may have had a crown motif. These plates have now disintegrated and flaked off.Dimensions: length: 105.9 mm; width of head: 23.2mm; thickness of head: 16.2mm; thickness of shaft: 11mm; weight: 11.78g.
