Title
Medieval barrel padlock
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy barb-spring barrel padlock of Medieval date (c. AD 1200 - c. AD 1400).

The barrel case is octagonal in cross-section throughout its length. At one end of the case is a projecting sub-rectangular arm (tab). The tab has a circular hole throughits centre. At 90 degrees to the tab, parrallel to the case, a bolt bar would have been located. At the surviving end of the barrel is a T-shaped hole in which a key fitted.

This padlock was probably used on a casket (Egan 1998, 92). Parallels from London (e.g. Egan 1998, 93; ref. 244) have come from pre-fourteenth-century contexts, although there is an example from a 15th-century context at Winchester (Biddle 1990).
