Iron

Some 81 pieces of poorly preserved and heavily concreted ironwork were recovered. The vast majority of these consisted of nails of varying weight and length and pieces of door hinge or furniture. None of these pieces are diagnostic beyond being handmade. Included within the assemblage, however, are several diagnostic pieces that warrant further comment. Due to the poor preservation of the assemblage, X-rays will be required in order to provide further identification and evidence of use.

Iron

Tr. 1: Several fragments from a heavily corroded and concreted spur c. 75mm wide, probably late 16th to 17th century in date, weighing 101g.

Iron

Tr. 2: Pair of corroded and concreted metalworking or smithing pliers. These tools were used in blacksmithing for the removal of nails from horseshoes, hot working and general craft activities (weight 229g, length c. 150mm); found with several square cross- sectioned nails and fragment of a horseshoe (weight 68g and tending to the large, Shire horse size of shoe). Although somewhat corroded these are most likely post-Medieval in date, but provide on-site evidence of metalworking and or smithing.

Iron

K: Two refitting fragments from a cast-iron object with a central perforation. Heavily concreted and poorly preserved these weigh 227g with the perforation c. 13.6mm in diameter. Probably from an architectural feature, such as a fireplace, these are post- Medieval in origin.

Iron

T: Broken and very poorly preserved possible snaffle or bridle bit. The central bar is largely intact, but missing one end and associated loop (surviving length c. 120mm). The other loop is broken; weight 123g. Undated.

Iron

<151> : Several pieces of door furniture, including a large hinge-strap with leaf-shaped terminal c. 205mm long and weighing 196g; basal or top door pivot c. 94mm long, with right-angle staple arrangement weighing 60g; five nail fragments, the largest weighing 25g and with a dome-shaped head and square cross-sectioned shaft.
