Description: | A squashed lead alloy vessel which was probably a bird trough or feeder dating from the post Medieval period. The object has been squashed in on itself and one side has a small rounded hole in it. It does not seem to have had a flat base, but may have been oval. The lead has a creamy/white patina to it. It has a length of 48.02mm, width 44.19mm, thickness 9.91mm and a weight of 113.44g. No markings or signs of decoration are visible. For reference see Egan (2005) Material culture in London in an age of transition p. 129 refs. 616 and 617. Plain examples are believed to date from the 16th or 17th centuries.
