Record ID: SF-6A50D3
Object type: HORSESHOE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily corroded and encrusted iron horseshoe of possible late Medieval or Post-Medieval date. It is U-shaped in form with relatively broad web and rounded toe, the branches narrowing and almost meeting at the heels to give the inner edge a pointed arch shaped profile. One heel has a folded calking, the other feathered. Each branch has four rectangular nail holes close to the outer edge, none of which are positioned at the toe of the shoe and no nails survive. The entire object shows signs of extensive post-depositional corrosion in addition to thick clay and flint encrustation that…

Record ID: SF-27D3B8
Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular fragment of iron metal working debris. It has uneven surfaces with multiple large pits or irregular form, and has suffered from some post-depositional corrosion. The fragment measures 41.94mm in length, 34.21mm in width, 21.52mm in thickness and 40.40g. This fragment may be of any date from the Iron Age onwards, although its preservation suggests a probable more recent rather than earlier date range.

Object type: RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three iron rings of probably Post-Medieval to Modern date, with a combined total weight of 16.39g. They are circular in form and oval shaped in section, each of them with an oval shaped casting sprue at the cente of the outer edge. These rings are likely to date to the later Post-Medieval to Modern periods (c.17th-19th centuries AD if not later), although given the findspot an earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely. All three rings have worn surfaces and measure: 1) 19.05mm in diameter, 4.98mm in thickness, and 5.75g in weight. 2) 18.47mm in diameter, 4.87mm in thickne…

Record ID: SF-701B94
Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of iron metal working debris or slag. It is roughly rectangular in form with pitted, uneven globular surfaces resultant from the cooling of the object. There are a few small gravel/flint inclusions on one surface. It measures 17.48mm in length, 13.18mm in width, 10.46mm in thickness and 3.80g in weight. This fragment is of uncertain Iron Age or later date, although most plausibly Post-Medieval to Modern in date range.
