Description: | An incomplete copper alloy spur of Post-Medieval date (AD 1550-1750). The object is 'U-shaped' arms and right-angled rowel box projecting from the back. Only one of the side attachment terminal is retained and is rectangular in plan and section with an offset figure of eight attachment terminal. The rowel box is of oval section, only one if the arms is retained however the two arms would have formed a vertical slit at the end, into which the now-missing rowel would have fitted. At the distal end of this slot are two horizontally opposing rivet holes for the bar, which also does not survive. The object has two old and abraded breaks causing the loss of one of the rowel box arms and one of the side attachment arms. The object is also bent inward, most probably caused by post-depositional processes.The metal is light brown in colour with a green and pitted patina.Length: 86.14mm, Width: 51.09mm, Thickness: 5.72mm, Weight: 30.8g.
