Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hook, of probable Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1700).It is irregular in plan and section. The top part consists of a blunt hook. The base of the hook is secured in a conical cap, with rounded top. At the base of the conical cap is a circular section projection, now incomplete.It measures 21.23 mm in length, 7.68 mm wide and 6.28 mm thick. It weighs 1.5 g.The hook is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the surface detail.No direct parallel has been found at the time of recording for this artefact. The style is suggestive of Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1700), but is not inconclusive.
