Description: | LeadEight Offcuts. Fragments of cast lead sheet with cut edges, most of thickness circa 1.7mm, a small piece is folded, others are mostly crumpled. They include one rectangular fragment with a rectangular nail hole of 3.7mm by 3.2mm, which shows the stripping of lead flashing in two stages: first the lead would be cut around the position of fixing nails enabling large sheets to be removed; and secondly, the nails would be extracted and the small squares of lead left behind would be recovered. This activity is recorded in medieval contexts though the technique continued in later times. Suggested date: Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1200-1800.Combined Weight: 105.30gms
