Description: | Probably late Medieval to Post Medieval (15th - 17th century) rowel spur: The terminals are missing and these breaks are not recent and show a D-section. The arms of the spur are distorted and flared outwards. The rowel box has a short bulbous neck which is off-set from the upper edge and has a drooping rowel box. The box is formed by two broken arms, and these are recent breaks. The spur is undecorated. The surface has a light green coloured patina. The spur measures 94.44mm across from terminal to terminal, 14.27mm deep at the neck and rowel box and weighs 30.48g.Similar spusr have been recorded from Norfolk, NMS-0E0F86 and Warwickshire, WAW-A58331 and dates it to the late 16th - 17th century. The surface condition may suggest this is of a slightly earlier date.
