An incomplete stone rod, possibly a stylus, of Medieval or Post Medieval date (c. AD 1200-1800). The rod is roughly cylindrical in shape with two flatter sides and tapers to a rounded point.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy spur rowel of either medieval, or more likely post medieval, date (c. AD 1200-1800). The object is star-shaped with seven points, each flat in section. Both faces are flat and undecorated. An iron bar perforates the centre of the rowel. The arms are relatively regular in width with some variation in height, and taper to a point. Two of the arms are more worn at the tip and bent slightly inwards suggesting they may have come into contact with the horse more than the other arms. It is suggested by Ellis (2002) that rowel spurs supersede use of prick spurs i…
