Description: | Cast lead vessel repair (pot mend). It is roughly oval in plan and H-shaped in section with two irregularly shaped outer sides, one larger than the other, joined by a smaller central section. The smaller side is slightly convex, the larger side is covered in indented lines and areas. Possibly marking of something that was held against the inner side of the pot to hold the lead as it was cast. In the 4.0mm wide groove created between the outer sides there are no remains of the original pot. It is 29.7 mm by 25.5mm, 8.6 mm thick and weighs 37.93 g.Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. Without any remains of the pot it is impossible to date it more precisely.
