Description: | A cast lead object, possibly a stylus, of probable Post-Medieval or later date. It is rectangular in form, square in section and tapers to a sharpened point. The entire object has been slightly bent at the centre due to post-depositional damage and has a seam running the length of one side suggesting it was folded and then hammered into shape. In its current form the object measures 83.19mm in length (bent), 7.49mm in width, 6.12mm in thickness, and weighs 30.88g. This is possibly a simple lead stylus, although other functions cannot be ruled out entirely. It is likely to be Post-Medieval or later in date, perhaps c.1600-1900 AD.
