Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval barrel tap spout dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The tap is cylindrical and tapers along its length to a closed and perforated spout. The barrel is decorated with linear striations along its length. There are four rows of four circular perforations located towards the spout end. The spout has four circular perforations placed irregularly; one of the perforations reaches the outer edge. The opposing end has a broken terminal. The surface of the barrel tap spout has a mid-green coloured patina. A similar example (WAW-8B2264A) was discovered in Worcestershire. Another fragmentary example is also recorded (WAW-143274), and was discovered in South Derbyshire. This record by Angie Bolton suggests a similar parallel as seen in Bailey (1995, 62; ref. 16) and suggests a date of circa AD 1600 and 1800.The barrel tap measures 96.4mm long, 23.7mm wide (at the widest point towards the broken terminal), 3.1mm thick and weighs 85.8g.
