Description: | An incomplete, cast iron prick spur, possibly of Medieval date, about AD 1100 - 1300. The remaining portion consists of part of the yoke, the shank and possibly the point, though it is difficult to be certain as corrosion has obscured the detail. The remaining section is 54.6mm long, 51.8mm wide and 12.1mm thick. It weighs 11.55gm.Compare examples illustrated in Clark (ed.), 2004, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment 1100 - 1300, page131, especially number 321.
