Title
barrel tap with fleur de lis key
Description
English: Cast copper alloy barrel tap with a tap key in the form of a flat fleur de lis. The key fits into a barrel which is decagonal in section. The spigot is circular in section and so is the spout but it is within multi-faceted moulding which leads from the end of the spout to the edge of the key barrel. A fragment of the fleur de lis at the top of the key missing and a fragment of the spigot missing at the end. It is very similar to but smaller than an example found by the same finder at Trebetherick Point.
The barrel tap is 123.4 mm long and its spigot is 14.7 mm in diameter and its spout is 12.7 mm in diameter, and its key is 49.7 mm in height and 14.2 mm in diameter, and it weighs 88.65 g.
Read (1995) depicts a similar tap on page 97, No.603, which he dates to the 15th and 16th centuries.
