Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy spur of Roman date. Only the centre of the spur and hook survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.The centre of the spur has the remains of two tapering rectangular arms. These are a flattened D-shape in section, with filed angular edges and a flat back face. In the centre is a circular hole, still containing the corroded remains of a separate iron prick. Projecting from the outside edge above and below the prick are D-shaped knops. Extending from the top knop is a forward-facing hook. This is oval in section and would have extended above the now missing prick. This spur measures 24.98mm in height, 27.83mm in width, 2.30mm in thickness, 4.59g in weight.There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-80D248), (8C8F42), (LIN-D3B115).
