Description: | A fragment of white metal alloy which is sub-square and is 22.4mm long, 21.6mm wide and 1.8mm thick. The piece appears to be ??run-off?? from metal working because it is uneven and pitted on one surface, where it formed in contact with the ground, and smooth on the other where it was in contact with the air. The edges are all broken. The composition of the metal is not certain without meteorological analysis, but appears to be similar to pewter in appearance, being grey and shiny, with a reflective top surface. The date of this fragment cannot be certain although a post medieval date seems most likely. It may be evidence of metal working in the vicinity. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
