| Title |
Late Medieval horse shoe |
||
| Description |
English: Later Medieval iron horseshoe. The horseshoe has branches that widen towards the centre. The outer edge is a continuous curve, whilst the inner comes to a distinct point in the centre.The horseshoe is concave on the upper side and convex on the lower. There are three nail holes on one branch, and on the other there are two clear holes and a possible third. The nails are missing from all but one of the holes. The nail that remains has a rectangular head that is trapezoid in profile, narrowing towards the base. The heels are folded back to form calkins; one is complete and the other is broken at the fold. The total length of the horseshoe is 99.5mm and the width is 92.1mm. The width of the branch at the heel is, 20.8mm and at the widest part of the branch, near the inner point, 32.7mm. The general thickness is 8.2mm. The thickness at the heel including the complete calkin is 17mm and the point where the nail remains is 15.6mm.
Similar examples have been identified and dated by Clark (1986, 3) with the distinct inner profile resembling a pointed arch rather than being curved. He dates this type to before the middle of the 14th-century (Clark 1986, 3). Evidence from various excavations indicates that this type of horseshoe was no longer being made by the 16th-century (Clark 1995, 96-7). |
