Title
?Post-medieval rotary key, obverse
Description
English: A worn and corroded cast iron key of probable post-medieval date. The key has a seemingly solid stem of circular section, corrosion making it impossible to establish with the naked eye whether it is hollow. The bow is now missing making it impossible to suggest and original length for this artefact. The opposite end has an extant projecting tip of 6.1mm. The bit is 16.1mm in length and 16.8mm in depth and is of an 'S' shaped form, the 'S' created by a pair of assymetrical clefts c. 9.7mm long. The further of the two clefts from the stem is now all but filled with iron corrosion product.
