Medieval iron spearhead
This spear-head…was evidently made for active use: the socket is round, at any rate for some distance up the head, along which it is continued nearly to the top. It was found in Garway Churchyard, by B. L. Chapman, Esq., during an excursion of the Cambrian Archaeological Association, on their meeting at Monmouth on 21st August, 1857. The church being under repair, some excavation had been going on; and Mr. Chapman discovered this spear-head amongst the rubbish, and presented it to the museum.
