Title
Needle
Description
English: A complete copper-alloy needle in very good condition. This needle measures 60mm in total length and has a tapering shaft with a pointed terminal. The shaft has an oval cross-section, measuring 2.7mm in width, at its widest point and 2mm in thickness. The head is a pointed lozenge shape (5mm in width at its central point) with a long oval perforation through it, measuring 6.8mm in length and 2.5mm in width internally. There are traces of a possible circumference groove below the head, although it is unclear if this is intentional or due to later damage. A very similar needle has been found at Threave Castle, Galloway, although this example was slightly shorter, however this find was unfortunately unstratified (Good and Tabraham 'Medieval Archaeology' 1981, 108, fig 10, no 49). No other exact parallel could be found, however, this needle is probably most likely to be early-medieval or medieval in date.
