Description: | An incomplete iron horseshoe of probable medieval date (c. 1250 - 1500). The horseshoe exhibits similarities to Clark's "Transitional" or "Later medieval" types. It exhibits a broad web and a broad margin between the outer edge of the shoe and the nail holes, as well as a calkin at one terminus. Seven rectangular nail holes are present, three to one curve and four to the other. Five are empty and two contain the remains of nails.The horseshoe measures 117.95mm in length, 120.77mm at its widest, 5.1mm in thickness and weighs 149.96.Cf. Clark, J, 2004, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment, Museum of London Press, London, p. 86 - 89.A similar example of the database is SOM-B81875,
