Description: | A fragment of a cast lead object, possibly part of an architectural element. Probably Post Medieval (c. AD 1500 ? c. AD 1750). Length 19.2mm, width 21.2mm and 2.8mm thick. Weight 5.34g.
The fragment consists of a curving strip of lead which is convex on both faces. One end has an old break and the other end terminates with three crudely shaped and conjoined pointed features which resemble leaves.
This object is possibly part of a lattice-work ventilation grille for a vent in a building. Compare with other architectural elements in the form of lead grilles recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database.
