Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded T-shaped iron nail with a tapered, rectangular-sectioned shank. The tip is missing. A number of early to early post-medieval horseshoes have been found in close proximity and T-shaped nails were used to secure these;however, this nail seems larger than those used to secure horseshoes and was probably used for construction purposes. The nail probably dates from the Late Medieval to early-post-Medieval periods.

A Transverse and chisel arrowhead worked on a flake of fine dark brown flint with small opaque cream inclusions. Before removal of the arrowhead blank, parallel flakes were removed that had the proximal ends of their negative scars truncated by the transverse removal forming the wide sharp, straight forward edge of the arrowhead. The proximal and distal ends of the flake blank were flaked away to leave symmetrical concave tapered blunt edges down to the tang using bifacial semi-abrupt retouch. There does seem to be a concentration of mostly undamaged often transverse arrowheads at …
