Object type: HELMET
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Published
Fragments of a possible iron pike ferrule and an iron burgonet helmet dating from c. 1580-1620 AD. Burgonet helmets were made in one or two pieces with an integral peak at the front and a short neckguard at the rear. The remaining fragment probably came from either of those places on the helmet, as it is curved (slightly oval) with a lip at the lower end. The iron is very worn and corrded with the surface flaky/flaking off in layers of corrosive products. The associated ferrule is undiagnostic and probably agricultural, but given the association with the helmet fragment it could be…
