Description: | Cast lead alloy (pewter) plate. The plate (or shallow dish) is circular with a flat rim and raised circular ridge as the foot. The bowl is very fragile and in several pieces. The item appears to be plain in decoration and no maker's marks are apparent; it is therefore very difficult to date and although it has been looked at (in its current uncleaned state) by Roman, Medieval & Post Medieval finds experts there is no agreement upon it's date. New research is currently being undertaken into pewter tablewares so it may at some point in the future be possible to date this item more securely.Dated as Possibly Roman, probably Post Medieval.
