Object type: HORSESHOE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and incomplete wrought iron horseshoe of probable later medieval date, possibly post-medieval. It has a rounded outer edge and an inner profile resembling a pointed arch. There are at least two nail holes on either side; it is likely the artefact has six nail holes, arranged three-three. Both terminals have been lost; it is not clear whether any calkins were present. One terminal is thickened (web width: 33.3mm) compared to the other (13.9mm). This 'later medieval' form can be compared with those illustrated in Clark (1986, 3; fig. 8).
