Cast copper-alloy socketed spearhead. Middle bronze age (c. 1500BC to 800BC). Mass: 31.8g; length: 110.7mm; width: 23.2mm; thickness: 11.4mm (at the base).

An incomplete cast copper alloy rowel spur consisting of two incomplete arms, one with an attachment rivet; a neck and a rowel box. In plan, the arms form a 'U' shape, although one arm is less complete than the other. At the terminal of one of the more complete arm, there is a rounded lug with a rivet, holding an incomplete pierced copper alloy annular attachment. This would have secured the spur to the footwear of the rider. The arm is broken beyond this rounded lug, but may have terminated with a further lug and rivet (e.g. see database record LANCUM-136824). The arms are ovo…
