Description: | Copper alloy barrel padlock fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast bar with a loop with drilled aperture of diameter 2.5mm at one end, and with a larger expansion at the other end from which project two lugs, one broken. The robusticity and projections argue for a mechanical function; this object may have turned on a pin or axle passing through the aperture. It is bent, possibly through incurring a significant stress while attached at that smaller end. Suggested date: Medieval, 1100-1300.Length: 23.8mm, Width: 8.8mm, Thickness (at wider end): 8.8mm, Weight: 3.84gms.
