Description: | A probable cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. One section is broadly sub-oval and flat in profile, with the section to the other side of the slot pyramidal. There are no discernible pottery fragments within the slot. The repair has corroded to an off-white colour. Unfortunately such repairs are not diagnostic; however, a tentative Roman date is offered given finds made in the vicinity.
