Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Carmarthenshire
Workflow stage: Published
Nearly complete but highly corroded spearhead with damage to the base of the socket. Socket is circular, with straight sides converging to the blade.

The lack of forged seam suggests that this is Medieval or Post Medieval.

Workflow stage: Published
A Medieval iron socketed spear head (14th – 15th century). The spear head is narrow with a lozenge-shaped section. The socket is broad with one nail hole with nail still present and possibly a second nail hole, but corrosion is obscuring the detail.

Geoff Egan (PAS Finds Advisor) observes that the form of the spear head suggests it is aggressive rather than ceremonial. Dimensions: diameter of socket: 27.30mm; length: 174.40mm; width: 16.71mm; thickness: 10.58m…
