Description: | Copper alloy bolt fragment. The fungiform head of a bolt with a short round or D section shank of diameter 10.2mm which is hollow, and a smoothly expanded head with a protruding and slightly irregular hexagonal projection intended to permit adjustment with a spanner. The edges of the head are chipped around its widest point, and its hexagonal top is slightly irregular, though whether from its imprecise manufacture or from distortion during its use is uncertain. The object presumably comes from agricultural machinery, but perhaps of a relatively early date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1900Length: 17.2mm, Diameter: 21.3mm, Weight: 20.91gms.
