Description: | An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval to modern (AD c.1550-c.1900) possible latch. Overall, the latch measures 131.4mm long, 22.8mm wide and 11.2mm thick. It weighs 69.58g. It is formed from a cylindrical rod terminating at one end with a circular loop and at the other with an incomplete hook. The rod tapers from 9.1mm in diameter at the loop end to 7.8mm at the hook end. There are two equally spaced collars of three circumferential ridges, each collar measuring c.10mm long and c.11mm in diameter. The loop is 21.6mm in diameter and 8.5mm thick and has an internal diameter of 10.8mm. The edge of the loop is trapezoidal in section (narrow face towards the centre). The hook projects upwards perpendicular to the rod and then curves. It is broken at its tip, is circular in section and measures 21.5mm long and tapers in diameter from 7.5mm at the rod to 6.6mm at the break.
