An iron horse or oxen shoe. The shoe is likely to date from the late medieval period, but could be early post-medieval in date. Only part of the shoe survives, suggesting that it could be a part shoe (made in two halves for a cloven-hoof animal such as oxen. Three small countersunk nail holes remain, but no nails. The shoe has a slightly sinuous edge (curvy).

An iron object, probably a fragment of a knife handle. The object shows signs of moulded decoration, in the form of possibly two opposing animal heads, facing in opposite directions. The heads have open mouths. There is evidence of an iron tang encased within the mouldings. The object is very worn and is a mid reddish-brown colour. It is probably Roman in date. Dr Kevin Leahy writes: while this object was identified as being made of iron it is more likely that it is copper alloy covered with iron corrosion products from the knife blade. It is best interpreted as the pommel cap fr…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
An iron single looped oval buckle, with a buckle plate made integrally to the buckle frame. The buckle although iron is very similar to copper alloy buckle from the medieval period and has therefore been given the same date ranges. The buckle frame has a very prominent single barrel moulding on the outer edge of the frame. The plate takes the place of the strap bar. It has three rivet holes punched through it. One of the rivets is near to the strap bar end, with the other two at the opposite terminal. The buckle is very corroded, but due to its age and the fact it is made of iron …

Object type: HORSESHOE

An iron horseshoe of Clark's type 4. The shoe would have fitted a horse's front hoof (Clark, p100). Type 4 are seen as the standard 'late medieval' form and can be dated from the 14th - 16th century, from contexts (Clarke, p96). The horseshoe has wide webs and no countersinking around the holes, which flares lightly towards the ground surface. There are three rectangular holes on either arm. Two of the holes on one side retain their rectangular headed nails (now heavily corroded in situ). This horseshoe survives in an extremely good condition and the surface is well preserved, as very…
