Description: | Fragment of cast lead which appears to have formed on the outside of a multi-part mould, possibly the remains of casting or mis-casting. It is curved in section and irregular, almost rectangular with another rectangule attached to one side, in plan with a distinct step outwards in thickness halfway down. Above this line there is a central raised vertical line which could have been from the joint on a mould. It is 26.4mm tall, 26.2mm wide and 4.8mm thick; it weighs 15.31 grams.Casting waste is hard to date without a context. Lead was widely used to make objects locally from the Roman to Modern periods.
