Context (Amendments / updates)
The catalogue card description for 1923.1170 F lists this object as being of Medieval date. However, similar trefoil-shaped hooked tags, found on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, are generally late Medieval to early Post Medieval in date (c. 1500-1650). The period field has been updated accordingly.
