Early Medieval iron nail
15-25. Various nails and studs. These represent not only the full range of nails and studs observed on the site, but also almost all the specimens found there. Two examples each of 17, 18 and 24 were recovered, but the remainder are single specimens; 25 is included here among the nails, though it differs from all the others in its great thickness.
