Record ID: SF-651846
Object type: ROWEL SPUR
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete fragment originating from an iron rowel spur of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, c. 1300-1700. Only the circular-sectioned neck of the spur survives, with the six-pointed copper-alloy 'rowel' still preserved in-situ. The rest of the object, consisting the arms of the object, is broken away in old damage. Preserved completely corroded and in relatively poor condition, the spur survives to a length of 41.50mm, 10.66mm thick at its midpoint, and c. 30.34mm in width at the widest point of the rowel. It weighs 13.83g. Ellis (in Clark, 1995, p. 147) notes that rowels of this …

Object type: SPEAR
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete iron spearhead dating to the Early Medieval period, c. 500-650 AD. The spear is lanceolate, missing parts of its blade and tip as well as the lower section of the socket- though is otherwise preserved relatively complete. The cleft socket is circular in section and tapers towards its junction with the blade, demonstrating a triangular cut-out section on one side, in which can still be viewed fragments of semi-mineralised wood. The socket neck is short and solid, expanding outwards again and tapering into a blade of probable leaf-shaped original form, the central midrib o…

Object type: SEAX
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete iron Seax or long knife dating to the Early Medieval period, c. 450-600 AD. The object is single edged, with a triangular-sectioned blade that thickens at its upper edge and curves down towards its point, giving it a humped appearance. The tang is triangular in form and follows the centre line of the blade, though the presumably organic handle is now missing. Preserved in fair condition with the original surface now mostly obscured by corrosion products, the seax measures c. 345mm long, 17.50mm thick at the midpoint of the tang, 42.49mm thick at the midpoint of the blade…

Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and heavily corroded iron rotary key dating to the Medieval period, c. 1270-1400. The exact form of the bow is uncertain, though the shank is rectangular in section and narrows above the projecting bit, the upper section of which is circular-sectioned and tapers to a rounded tip. The bit itself is heavily damaged and corroded, though its form probably consisted originally of three separate clefted bars. Preserved in poor condition, it survives to a length of c. 137mm, 8.63mm thick at the midpoint of the shank, and a maximum of 28.55mm thick between the shank and survivin…
