A complete cast copper alloy Door Knob Spear Butt of Roman or Early-Medieval date, circa 200-300 AD or 500-600 AD. The object comprises a hollow circular shaft, tapering slightly from the open end before expanding where it joins the door knob terminal proper; the terminal measures 37.7mm in diameter. The mouth of the shaft has been slightly flattened. The terminal is bulbous and also hollow, it has a rounded base. There is a ridge around the top of the bulbous terminal. Apart from this there is no other decoration. The metal is pitted and mottled, but is largely a mid brownish-green in colour. These objects were once thought to be of Iron Age date, however they are now known to be of either Roman or Early-Medieval date.
