Description: | A probable lead-alloy bird feeder, dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods.The artefact is now squashed, but it would appear to have had a flat back, outward-bowing front face and flat underside. Vertical and horizontal seams suggest that the back was added separately. From the base, the width gradually increases towards the opening at the top.Dimensions: 57.3mm wide, 45.1mm high, 7mm thick (total). Weight: 66.69g.A similar feeder was found in excavations in Southwark, London (Egan 2005: 129, no. 617). The London example was unstratified; however, according to Egan, the earliest feeders of this form date from the late 15th/early 16th centuries, with the plainer examples extending up to at least the late 17th century (ibid).
