Description: | An incomplete barrel tap key of Post-Medieval date. The bifuricated terminal survives, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It has the remains of a shaft that is hexagonally faceted and expands to the terminal itself. The terminal has two arms the curve outwards to rounded ends, both of which are also hexagonally faceted. This fragment measures 42.18mm in width, 22.77mm in length, 7.05mm in thickness, and 22.83g in weight.This is possibly the terminal from a barrel tap key of Post-Medieval date, similar to an example published form Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 932). However, it is of slightly differing form that may indicate a potentially different date range, although plausibly of similar function. It is perhaps most likely to be of Post-Medieval date, c.17th century AD.
