Description: | Iron jemmy or small crowbar. Wrought iron bar with a flat everted hook at one end and a point at the other. The object is now of square section. However, the finder reports that a considerable amount of the object was lost during his removal of corrosion, which shortened it significantly. It may follow that the rectilinear section is the result of corrosion which has progressed deeper than the outer surface of the original object, and the status of the pointed end may be questionable for the same reason. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Length: 245mm, Width (at everted end): 42mm, Thickness: 15.5mm, Weight: 300gms.
