Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An medieval wrought iron arrowhead dating from c. the 11th-15th century. It has a rounded socket instead of a tang and the blade is a long triangular shape.

The arrowhead has barbs which appear to be straight not curved, but one is missing and the other is broken so the shape is not certain.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible corrective shoe often called a bar shoe or a shoe for an ox.

Difficult to date probably somewhere between the medieval to post-medieval 1400-1700AD. The circular horseshoe was used to give extra support at the heel the nail holes for the shoe to be attached to the horses hoof are rectangular in shape and taper inwards in profi…
