A complete, large iron Medieval to Post Medieval key, dating to c. AD 1150-1650. The object resembles a Type 8 key (Saunders, 2012). The bow is oval. The stem thickens in the middle, is circular in shape, and extends beyond the bit. The bit is rectangular and symmetrical in shape, indicating it is probably a door key, and has a central cleft. The bit and stem are in line. The key displays some corrosion, and if there originally was any decoration on the stem or bow, it is no longer visible. The object is covered with corrosion products.

Iron spearhead of probably late Medieval date. The blade is complete and a broad leaf shape with convex curved sides widening evenly form the point to the rounded base of the blade. A rounded rib runs from the socket about half way along the length of the blade on both sides; the ribs thicken towards the base but appear solid. The blade is otherwise flat and even in thickness. Due to the level of corrosion it is hard to identify the width of the sharpened edges, if any. The socket is conical and tapering, continuing the line of the ribs but only hollow until it meets the blade. The en…

A very worn and corroded fragment of an iron dove type horseshoe. The piece consists of the right branch. Three sub-circular nail holes are evident and are countersunk to accept T-shaped nails. One T-shaped nail head has corroded within a hole close to the toe. The heel has the remains of a calkin but corrosion has probably eroded this, rather than wear. The size and weight suggest a saddle shoe of the mid-fourteenth century. Length 107.08 mm. Width 26.04 mm. Thickness 5.47 mm. Weight 60 grams.

A corroded right branch of a probable medieval dove type horseshoe with evidence of a calkin at the heel. The branch has three sub-rectangular holes with recesses to accept T-shaped nails. The external edge appears to be a wavy line where the nail holes have been punched through. The toe section is thickened. It is unusual to see a thickened toe section on worn and corroded shoes and it is possible that this may be a half shoe. I believe half shoes were used on oxon. Although i have classed this as a dove shoe, the wavy edge may indicate an earlier date.
