Description: | Cast lead vessel repair/pot mend, probably medieval in date (c AD1100-1500). The pot mend is irregular in shape with a flat oval-shaped base with a thick cylinder coming off one side. The outer side of the cylinder has a protruding lip forming a point. The flat 'base' to the mend has a groove running around its outer edge. The object has irregular edges with section of lead bent at various angles.Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery. From the form of this mend it is unclear what type of vessel it was used for.
