Description: | A cast lead alloy cap from a post medieval powder measure. The cap is flattened and is 30.2mm long, 21.3mm wide and 11.3mm thick; it weighs 12.68 grams. Originally it was a circular cup with two loops, one each side of the closed end. One loop is still present but flattened, one has broken off and the cup is squashed closed. It was used to hold a measure of gunpowder for a muzzle loaded gun.
