Abstract
- The article describes several Medieval iron tools and metalwork excavated from Castle Acre Castle in Norfolk, England. Heckles, which comprised of two or more rows of iron teeth set in a wooden block with a handle, were used in preparing wool and flax fibres for spinning. Whittle tang knives had blades of known medieval type. Barrel padlocks had cylindrical cases with T-shaped keyholes along the underside, while padlock keys had bits set in line with the stem. Five identifiable spurs recovered from the upper ward included different kinds of iron prick spur and rowel spur.
