Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. Part of one side and the terminal end survive, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The surviving side/arm is D-shaped in section with flat back face and rounded front face, tapering towards the terminal to give it a triangular appearance. The terminal itself is a figure of eight with two circular apertures, one of which contains the corroded remains of an iron rivet(?), the arm joining the terminal at its centre. The front face of the arm has moulded decoration. This comprises a grooved border at top and bottom, between which is a quatrefoil motif followed by two small scrolls and multiple opposing diagonal lines in a herringbone pattern that runs to the terminal. It measures 64.89mm in length, 16.38mm in width, 3.23mm in thickness and 12.09g in weight. This is an incomplete rowel spur of Post-Medieval date similar to examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. SF-0609E6, LVPL-4904F2, HAMP-CACF80, HAMP-986E95 or SOM-A57313). It is of probable 17th to 18th century AD date.
