Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probable spur of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1700). The rowel and both of the arms are missing. The fragment consists only of the neck. The neck divides into two lugs, each of which exhibits a circular rivet hole, with a slot between them to house the rowel (now missing). The body is cylindrical but has been bent out of shape. It appears to have been deliberately cut approximately half way along the surviving length, with a portion of the body bent off to one side. The fragment terminates in an old break, which, again, may be deliberate.The spur measures 71.73mm in length, 7.14mm in width, is 8.41mm thick and weighs 27.25g.Cf. Read, B, 2001, p. 60, no. 501.
