Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron knife. A narrow pointed knife blade, with a pointed tip with angled back, otherwise parallel-sided except where corrosion has spalled away to reveal the metal core. As the presumed proximal [i.e. nearer the handle] end is the same width as the blade a scale tanged form is inferred. The mass suggests good survival of the metal. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval, 1400-1550

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron unidentified object fragment. A cast concavo-convex conical object, with an indication of a square feature, perhaps lost from this site, and with a conical hollow 23mm deepwithin. Chipped at top and bottom. The finder kindly notes this comes from an area of Roman finds. However, Dr Kevin Leahy considers almost all cast iron objects are likely to date to the later medieval or early post-medieval periods at the earliest. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1900

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron and copper alloy metalworking debris. A compact oval cake made up of three discrete layers or components. The earliest appears to comprise fragments of copper alloy which has congealed on a flat smooth surface leaving a glossy surface to the object. A maximum thickness of 7mm might be inferred for this part. The massiest largest central part is a metallic ferrous cake [giving a strong magnetic response] with an intermittently vesicular appearance, of thickness 45mm. An upper layer is a splash of off-white ashy vesicular skim [compare NLM-87C967 and NLM-882816 which …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron probable tuyere with copper alloy melt adhering. A cast round-section oval iron object with a central round longitudinal aperture of diameter 15.5mm. The object is shaped like a large lentoid bead at its open end and is possibly narrowed from its midpoint with a circumferential groove. Associated with a group of copper alloy metalworking waste. The blocked end bears parallel grooves in a limited zone. The object was kindly viewed by Dr James Dilley, Experimental Archaeologist at the University of Southampton, who considers that a late date is implied by this detail. This conc…

Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron ring. Probably cast iron ring with a pair of wedge-shaped stops or blocks projecting from one side of a probably trapezoid section band. The mass suggests good survival of the metal core and hence a relatively recent date. Dr Kevin Leahy considers cast iron to post-date the end of the medieval period, c.1490. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1900
Diameter: 67.8mm, Band Width: 11.3mm, Band Thickness (clear of stops): 4.3mm, Weight: 59.61gms

Object type: BOBBIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron bobbin. Cast cotton-reel-shaped object with expanded flat ends and a bulbous mid-part with a prominent mould line, and with a central longitudinal hole of diameter 17.1mm. This may be from a mechanical loom, perhaps an early version of those which would fill the factories of 19th-century Britain. The use of cast iron for a relatively small component is particularly unusual. The weight still falls so close to a round metric unit as to perhaps suggest manufacture on the European continent, where the metric system was introduced under Napoleon c.1800, and where it was presumably adop…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron buckle. Annular double looped buckle retaining the looped stub of an iron pin, apparently of round section though corrosion can alter the apparent form of such material. The strength of the material would make it apt to use with horse gear. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1650

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron unidentified object fragment. Cast iron [tested with magnet] rectangular-section straight bar with one flat and one broken end. The surface bears frequent wedge-shaped or narrow angular excrescences overall, possibly indicating some aspect of the casting process or the material that was cast; they do not appear to have arisen from any subsequent treatment of its surface.

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron spearhead. Cast socket and round-section shaft of a wrought iron socketed implement with a solid shank now terminating in a tapered and coiled end. The diameter at the socket is 21.6mm, suggesting a round-section wooden shaft of diameter c.16mm. The socket is closed by a butted joint of length 41mm, and the base of the socket may have projected by c.12mm if it has not merely been broken raggedly, which is more likely. The solid shank above the socket is bent once at the top of the socket, and again, more markedly, close to the tip which is now curled. Suggested date: Late Roman, …

Object type: HINGE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron possible hinge; as kindly suggested by the finder: perhaps a hinge pivot was meant, in which a spike would be driven into the timber of a door or window frame – these items of structural ironwork are usually L-shaped from medieval contexts. A tapered rod of rounded section, expanded and flattened at one end and rolled to form a loop or eye [now blocked by corrosion]. The mass and surface condition suggest good preservation of the metal core, and hence, from a cultivated context, probably a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1900

Lead and iron nail fragment. A ferrous metal nail whose bent shank protrudes from a lead sheath which was presumably intended to retard the corrosion of the iron. Unusually for such objects, the lead over the nail head is smoothed, polished or worn. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron horseshoe nails. Two nails with trapezoidal block heads and rectangular-section tapering shanks, of overall lengths 27.9mm and 29mm, as appropriate for use with horseshoes of London Type 3 (Clark 1995, The Medieval horse and its equipmentc.1150-c.1450, Medieval Finds from excavations in London, HMSO, page 96). The tips are lost. These nails and shoes are most commonly reported from contexts dated 1200-1350. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1350

Object type: STUD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron stud fragment. Wrought iron rectangular section shank, much of it lost, offset below a thick [5.5mm] flat circular head; the angular section of the shank is exaggerated by spalling of its metal surface, though the mass may suggest good survival of the metal core thus exposed.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron and lead nail fragment. Round head and rectangular-section stub of its shank, with the angle between the head and shank filled by a conical sheathing of lead. Probably to prevent the corrosion of a small iron nail from splitting its setting; the size would be apt to use with roofing lead, flashing or a tile. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800

Iron buckle. Wrought iron sub-rectangular double looped buckle frame retaining a pin looped around its central bar. The frame appears to be of rounded section.
