Description: | An incomplete post medieval to modern iron key, dating to the period c. AD 1700-1900. The key exhibits a stem which is square in cross- section, and expands out at one terminal to the beginnings of the bow. However, the majority of the bow is missing and comprises only a downwards projection which terminates in a worn break. At the opposite terminal the bit is formed of two downwards pointing projections, rectangular in cross-section, both of which terminate in worn breaks. The key is heavily corroded and therefore exhibits an orange-brown patina on the surface.The key measures 101.47mm in length, 22.87mm in width at its widest, 6.89mm in thickness and weighs 29.84g.
