Description: | A lead alloy cap from a post medieval powder measure. The cap is flattened and is 30.5mm long, 17.8mm wide and 15.7mm thick. Originally it was a circular cup with two loops, one each side of the closed end. The loops are still present but are flattened and the cup is squashed closed. The cap was cast, but sheet ones are also known (Courtney 1988). The findspot suggests that the cap probably dates from 1644.
