Description: | Probably a complete copper alloy Door Knob Spear Butt of Roman or Early Medieval date, circa 200-300 AD or 500 to 600AD. The object comprises a hollow shaft, tapering slightly from the open end before expanding where it joins the door knob terminal. The terminal is bulbous and also hollow and it has a rounded base. The metal is pitted and mottled with a mid-brownish patina. The length is 54mm, the width is 44mm diameter of base 40mm and the weight 114.75g. However, it should be added that it is possible that this is just a post-medieval door knob.
