Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval spur rowel: The copper alloy rowel is in the shape of a five-pointed star. The arms are sub-oval in section with angular corners. There is central circular perforation through the centre of the rowel through which there is the remains of iron corrosion. The rowel has an abraded surface with traces of a mid green patina. It measures 36.39mm diameter, 2.96 mm thick, and weighs 7.99g.Such rowels are undiagnostic and a wide medieval to post-medieval date is therefore offered; similar examples can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 66; refs. 505-507).
