Description: | An incomplete lead mount or tag of Post-Medieval to Modern date. It is flat, rectangular in shape and section and terminates in old breaks to the left hand side of the plate. The object has suffered from some post-depositional damage and measures 51.79mm in width, 27.43mm in height, 2.11mm in thickness, and weighs 23.31g. On the front face of the object are the remains of two lines of stamped or punched wording that reads '[]DE IM/APPLE'. The letters 'IM' are very faintly stamped and perhaps not fully completed. A small circular perforation is also visible that pierces the base of the letter E in 'DE'. This object is similar to a second lead object recorded through the PAS from Suffolk (SF-DEF910) that ahs been identified as a possible mount or tag to mark trees in an orchard/market garden, produce or within a walled or ornamental garden. The lettering on the current example suggests a similar usage and date, probably in the 17th-20th centuries AD.
