Description: | Copper alloy prick spur fragment. A short (14mm) collared acorn shaped goad springing from the plano-convex heel of a spur and attached by a basal rivet of diameter 2.2mm which was observed on the inside surface of the heel. The site was flanked by a short projection resembling a fleur de lis form, possibly a devolved animal head, and a shorter opposed lug. The broken ends leading to the spur sides are rounded as if by wear, particularly on one side, which may suggest this object was put to some indeterminate use after breakage. The finder kindly identified this object with reference to UKDFD no. 9336 and SF-912867. Suggested date: Late Roman, 200-410.Length (heel): 25.2mm, Height: 24.7mm, Thickness (at heel): 4.1mm, Weight: 10.53gms.
