Description: | An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval (AD c.1600-c.1900) rowel spur missing the terminal of one side, part of a loop of the other side and the rowel. Overall, the spur measures 69.4mm long, 76.3mm wide and 24.0mm thick. It weighs 36.82g.The rowel box is complete and still has the iron axis pin at its end and there are the remains of part of the rowel within the box. The box itself is broadly oval in cross-section with a vertical longitudinal slot for the rowel. The rowel box is connected to the rest of the spur by a curving shaft set at right angles to the rowel box. The rest of the spur is D-shaped in cross-section and tapers gradually from the centre to the terminals. At the surviving terminal is a pair of loops, one of which is attached directly to the terminal and the other (incomplete) attached indirectly via the other loop. Each side of the spur is decorated with a pair of raised circles or ovals.
