Description: | Small cast copper alloy unidentified object, probably a fragment of a lid or side of a box dating from the Roman or later period. Due to the burnt-looking surface and the findspot we can possibly date it to the Roman periodm i.e. c. AD100-300. The original artefact may have been roughly square or cruciform in shape. It probably slotted into the other side pieces. The fragment is undecorated on what looks like the inside or underside, but there is some decoration remaining under the burnt surface on the obverse: hatching or cross-hatching.
