Description: | A complete post-Medieval iron foot patten (c. 1720-c. 1900).This patten has an oval ring, rectangular in cross-section. It has a raised platform at the heel end where there is a trapezoidal attachment plate and a raised platform at the toe in the shape of a circle with a long, tapering protrusion at the front edge. The trapezoidal heel plate has two iron rivets remaining in place on the outer edge and the toe plate has two iron rivets in the centre.The patten is complete but corroded overall.Length: 210.0mm; width: 90.5mm; thickness of ring: 12.4mm. Weight: 179.88g.A patten of this design is illustrated in Bailey, 1995, Detector Finds 2, page 56.Goodall, I (1976:63) comments that the single and double riveted raised terminals were characteristic of pattens. The "rivets passed through a wooden patten or sole. Shoes were secured by straps to these pattens, which raised the wearers' feet above dirt and mud. Pattens with iron rings were used during and after the 17th century, the earliest known reference is 1625, and the type with the crinkled edge is thought to be superseded by the plain oval hoop by c.1720".Similar pattens have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: BUC-21780A; CORN-8B1646; DEV-9DC3B5; NARC-181F06; PUBLIC-46EA67; PUBLIC-994345; SWYOR-69ABA1; SUR-F18E01; SUR-F987B0; SUSS-A122D3; SWYOR-478B31 and SWYOR-A70082.
