Title
Medieval copper alloy 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 through its centre. At 90 degrees to the tab, parallel to the case, a bolt bar would have been located. One end of the barrel is closed; the other has a damaged oval opening.

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 elsewhere they have been found in fourteenth contexts (Geake 2001, 50-51).
