Description: | An unidentified lead object. It is a rectangular piece of lead with backward pointing flanges round the edges which curve inwards slightly. The letter K (or an unbarred A) is in deep relief on the front, and is also visible where it has been pressed from the back. It has a creamy brown patina to it. The date and exact use for this object remain unknown. Other similar items have been cautiously identified as lids to small vessels such as pill boxes, but the inward curving sides on this example make this unlikely. Many other similar "lids" have been found in this area, and in other parts of the Dales. Some have 16th or 17th century dates in the decoration, and most have letters. Examples include: SWYOR-702F46, SWYOR-984228, SWYOR-7EE631, SWYOR-6914C6 and SWYOR-EE1726.
