Title
An incomplete post-medieval iron key bit
Description
English: An incomplete Post Medieval - Modern iron key bit. Only the rectangular bit survives and appears to have a rectangular cleft half-way along the upper side. There are two further clefts, which do not appear to be mirrored on either side due to corrosion. Both seem to have been L-shaped, one located on the underside near the stem and the other located at the end of the bit. It is difficult to tell much else about the key as only the bit remains.

It is difficult to date this object without the rest of the key.

Dimensions: length: 21.82 mm; width: 14.21 mm; thickness: 9.54 mm; weight: 16.54g.
