Description: | An incomplete iron horseshoe of probable medieval to post medieval date (c. 1250 - 1550). The horseshoe exhibits similarities to Clark's Later medieval" Type 4 " and comprises only one branch, terminating in an old break at each end. There are four rectangular nail holes visible, one of which retains an iron nail with an expanded head and rectangular shank. The tip of the nail appears to have been deliberately twisted or clenched and terminates in an old break. There is no calkin visible.The horseshoe measures 91.34mm in length, is 34.88mm wide, 3.72mm thick and weighs 45.47g.Cf. Clark, J, 2004, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment, Museum of London Press, London.
