Description: | A copper-alloy spur attachment dating to the post-medieval period. The fitting has a lozenge-shaped body, which tapers to a closed, forward-facing hooked end with two lateral lobes at the junction. A mushroom-shaped stud with a large teardrop-shaped head is riveted to the centre of the lozenge-shaped section. The leathers were attached by means of the stud, and the fitting was hooked to one of the spur terminals (see UKDFD 5673 and UKDFD 28172). | |

A copper-alloy spur rowel with six lozenge-shaped points of lozenge-shaped cross-section. The dating of detached rowels of this type is problematic. Cf. PAS: BH-F83266 |

Description: | A rowel spur, broken across one arm and found as two separate pieces. The terminal on the smaller piece retains a hook attachment. Two similar hook attachments and a spur buckle were found with the larger piece. The hook attachments retain fragments of leather on their studs. The spur has a rowel box with a fairly deep throat in which there are remnants of an iron rowel. The terminals have three holes for fitting the attachments. The buckle is a double loop asymmetrical type with a hooked copper-alloy terminal, and the residue of an iron pin. On the assumption that the items are all related, the buckle provides a basis for dating them to the period circa 1575-1700 (Cf. Ross Whitehead, Buckles 1250-1800, Nos. 583-584). | |

Description: |
A small post-medieval rowel spur, possibly for a child. The arms are of D-shaped cross-section, taper towards the (missing) terminals, and have three prominent globular knops equally spaced along their length. The areas around the knops and the edges of the arms have punched-dot decoration. The down-turned rowel box is of an elongated pear shape with a narrow neck. It has a circumferential ring of knops at the larger end, and a deep throat to accommodate a large rowel (now missing). Traces of a white-metal coating are present on the surface.
