Cast copper alloy fragment from a Post-Medieval rowel spur. It is L-shaped in plan with only the spur neck and spur box remaining. The spur neck is circular in section and widens in the middle. At the junction between the neck and the box the fragment bends 90 degrees. There is a circular knob on the corner. The spur box consists of 2 arms running parallel to each other, ending in a circular terminal. This circle has a central hole through which a bar would have run to hold the rowel in place.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Medieval buckle plate which would have had an integral frame but it has broken. The plate is generally linear and expands at either end into moulded circular ends. In cross- section it is D-shaped with the back being flat. The plate is broken just at the junction with the frame which would have been oval. This type of buckle has been dated from the early 13th century onwards. It is possible that they were used for spurs but this has not been proved. Similar examples have been found at Meols on the Wirral (Egan, Philpott and Griffiths; 2007; 103-5).
