A fragment of a cast copper alloy post-medieval spur, circa 1600-1750 AD. Both the sides are missing, with breaks that are D-shaped in cross-section.

The neck extends backwards to a break halfway along the rowel box. The rowel is missing. The fragment measures 30.6mm in length, the neck extends 18.5mm, it has a thickness of 6.8mm, and weighs 15.4g. …
