An incomplete copper alloy Post Medieval spur (c. AD 1600-1750). The rowel is missing. The gap between the terminals is 68.32mm and each terminal consists of a figure-of-eight double off-set loop that joins the arm at a moulded collar. The moulded collar is more pronounced on the right arm than the left arm. The main body of the frame is plano-convex, with a flat reverse and rounded front, giving the main body of the frame a D-shaped cross section. The main body starts off with a band width of 4.92mm and thickness of 2.48mm on the left-hand side, and a band width of 6.3…

An incomplete, copper alloy rowel spur of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The object retains the majority of one of the arms, most of the rowel box, and part of the second arm. The heel of the object has a flat internal face and domed external face, giving it a D-shaped cross section. One the one side, the heel tapers from being 18.72mm high and 4.44mm thick near the neck of the rowel box to 11.32mm high and 2.84mm thick near the broken terminal on one of the arms - the terminal starts off with a sub-triangular projection connected to two lozenges, ending wit…

An Incomplete copper alloy rowel spur, possibly dating from AD 1200 to 1500. The fragment is curved and would possibly have been u-shaped in plan. Most of the sides have been broken off. The slightly longer left hand side is bent upwards. The neck protrudes from the centre and the rowel box has broken off approximately 1cm from the frame. The rowel box is present and is a rounded, by pyramidal shape with a groove running down the centre. This groove would have held the rowel. The object has a mid to dark grey patina. The maximum width of the object is 59.31mm and length is 24.71. I…

A Post Medieval copper alloy spur fragment possibly dating to the 17th century. The spur is now incomplete and consists of the heel and incomplete arms. The breaks on the arms may have occurred in the plough soil. The arms have a 'D' shaped cross section, with a flat inner surface and convex outer surface. Integral to the exterior edge is a protrusion which originally held the rowel. The protrusion is broadly oval shaped in cross section at the collar which then narrows to a circular cross section and broken terminal. This projection extends to a length of 18.91 mm. The object has a …

Medieval (13th to 14th century) rowel spur: The copper alloy arms of the spur have been squashed together and the terminals have become entangled, but the spur is almost complete. In profile the rowel box is formed by a downwards curved arm with a slot running almost the length of the bow. The terminals of the box have expanded circular terminals with a circular perforation which hold the copper alloy axis bar. The rowel itself is missing. The junction of the rowel bow and heel of the spur has a vertical collar as decoration. The heel of the spur extends upwards, beyond the rowel box …

A copper alloy arm fragment of a probable prick spur of the Medieval to Post Medieval period, probably dating from c. AD 1200 - c. AD 1650. The shaft of the fragment is D shaped in cross section, and has a worn break at its widest terminal. The patina has been lost from the front surface. The spur tapers towards its narrower terminal, and then expands into two conjoined loops, one to each side of the shaft. The loops both contain the remains of iron rivets, these have become heavily corroded. The reverse of these loops is flat, the front is convex, and the entire reverse is undecor…
