PIN

Unique ID: FAKL-D3BEBA

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Published Find published

Iron pin, probable Early Medieval, Anglo-Saxon. Now corroded and damaged the pin had an original length of 60.0mm and a diameter of around 3.6mm. One end appears to have been pointed while the other is bent back to form an 8.3mm wide, oval loop. While of a very simple form this pin can be parallel by, for example the copper alloy pin in Grave 134 at Castledyke South Barton on Humber (Drinkall and Foreman, 1998, 181, Fig. 95)
