County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily corroded and encrusted iron horseshoe of possible late Medieval or Post-Medieval date. It is U-shaped in form with relatively broad web and rounded toe, the branches narrowing and almost meeting at the heels to give the inner edge a pointed arch shaped profile. One heel has a folded calking, the other feathered. Each branch has four rectangular nail holes close to the outer edge, none of which are positioned at the toe of the shoe and no nails survive. The entire object shows signs of extensive post-depositional corrosion in addition to thick clay and flint encrustation that…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Probably a Medieval or Post Medieval caltrop made from iron. The object consists of six rectangular sectioned spikes which are arranged so that it appears cross shaped when viewed from any angle. Three of the spikes are complete. A caltrop usually has four spikes but this appears to have the same function. Compare LEIC-6F1C31 and DENO-198F30.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron buckle of Medieval date. The frame is rectangular, with bevelled edges and a flat underside. The single plate is integrally cast, rectangular in plan and has a forward-facing hook at the non-frame end. At the centre of the frame end, there is a circular aperture, by which the now missing pin would have been attached. The inner edge of this aperture is damaged. There is no obvious means of attachment, although any rivet hole would probably be obscured by the iron corrosion that covers the surface of the plate. The object measures 36.8mm long, 24.2mm wide and 10.5mm deep (i…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a wrought iron axehead of possible medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment may be the butt end of the axe as it does not seem wide enough to be the blade. It is possible that the break is at the section where the hole for the hafted handle would have been, and this would have been the weakest part of the axe. It is very corroded and in poor condition.

A complete, Medieval-Tudor, forged/wrought, rusty iron Guildhall probable draught horseshoe. The shoe is a fair size, relatively broad with a rounded outer edge and arched inner edge. The point of the arch disappears by the early C16th. The shoe has fairly long branches with the heels inclined together. Calkins are present although on is turned down a little more than the other.

Object type: HORSESHOE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a wrought iron horseshoe, probably of medieval or post medieval date, AD1200-1700. The shoe is highly corroded and no evidence of nail holes can be seen. There does not appear to be a calkin (suggsting a later Medieval date onwards) nor evidence of clips or fullering (Post Medieval innovations). The sides of the shoe do not bulge round the holes, and the web is 30mm wide, making the shoe most similar to Museum of London types 3 or 4. These are more commonly found from 1200 onwards. There seems to be wear or damage to the toe. With only half the shoe surviving, the overall shap…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead and iron possible fish hook fragment. Cast sub-spherical lead weight with mould line bearing an apparently curved iron shank protruding from opposite sides. An identification as a pin head was entertained, but pin shanks of iron are relatively rare, would not be curved, and would not protrude from both sides of a separate head. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500. Diameter: 9mm, Thickness: 6.6mm, Length: 11.2mm, Weight: 2.90gms.

A fragment of an early-medieval or medieval iron padlock, circa 950-1500 AD. The object is part of the bolt, and represents a thick circular end plate with the riveted ends of three springs (the internal locking mechanism) on its external surface. Short stubs from the spines of two of the springs remain on the inner surface, together with a scar from the third. The spines appear to have been thick short rectangles in cross-section, two set in line with each other and the third perhaps perpendicular. The fragment measures 35.4mm in diameter, is 6.5mm in thickness ,and weighs 52.0g. The…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of an early-medieval or medieval iron padlock, circa 950 AD-1500 AD. The fragment represents the bolt, and has an irregular end-plate. End-plates from these padlock bolts are normally circular, but this has two straight edges joined by a curve, and at least one of the straight edges is thickened as if crushed or broken. Three ends of the springs (the internal mechanism which locks the padlock) protrude from its outer surface where they were riveted through the end-plate. On its inner surface, two short lengths of the spring arms (or 'spines') remain. Although both are b…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete early-medieval or medieval iron padlock, circa 950-1500 AD. The part surviving is known as the 'bolt', and it has one circular end with part of the inner spring mechanism riveted through it in three places. There are three short bars (known as 'spines') on the inner side, one bent and distorted, the other two parallel to each other and holding the remains of springs between them. Each spine would have had two springs, and two between the better-surviving spines survive to form a V shape. The ends of the spines are visible as rounded bumps on the other side of the end pla…

Wrought Iron possible slicker or drawknife. Possible blade, though now lacking a clear V-section, with one handle remaining of an original pair which, if the identification is sustained, would be set at either end of the blade.
