Description: | An incomplete iron foot patten of Medieval to Post-medieval date (AD 1300-1800). The object is comprised of an oval ring of rectangular section, a raised platform at the heel where there is a projecting spur, terminating in an old break, which would have continued to from the trapezoidal attachment tapering protrusion at the front edge. At the upper end of the object another, shorter spur, also terminating in an old break. This would formally have comprised the tapering projecting toe plate."The rivets passed through a wooden sole. Shoes were secured by straps to these pattens, which raised the wearers' feet above dirt and mud" Goodall, I. H., 1976, Iron Objects, in O Baldwin, Excavations of Ardingly Fulling Mill and Forge 1975-76,
