Object type: HORSESHOE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: DEVON
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete medieval iron horseshoe. The left heel of the shoe has a downward turning projection or 'calkin'. The left branch of the shoe is also thicker than the right heel. As calkins are not commonly used today, and were falling out of favour by the 17th century (Clark, 2004), this shoe is probably of a medieval date.

Over 140 sherds of postmedieval pottery, all found in the same field. The majority of the sherds are North Devon / South Somerset coarsewares with green or brown glaze on the interior surface.

There are also a few small fragments of North Devon sgraffito ware. In addition to the pottery sherds, there are two fragments (top left of image) of postmedieval glass; the thickness suggests that they are from the bases of onion bottles, which dat…

Object type: BIRD FEEDER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: DEVON
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medieval lead alloy container. The container is D-shaped in plan; it has curved sides and is flat at the back with a D-shaped base and has a D-shaped opening at the top. The item gently splays outwards towards the top, where there are two lines visible as decoration. The item is damaged and has become mis-shapen.

A copper alloy integral plate from a buckle which is probably Medieval in date (AD 1200 - 1400). The frame and part of the attachment end of the plate are missing.
