Description: | A fragment of palimpsest monumental brass, of late medieval date. It is flat and rectangular in form. One original edge survives while the other three are broken. One face is engraved with lettering while the other is blank. On the engraved face there is an IA (with contraction mark above) followed by two further uprights, possibly forming a W. The purpose of the object was to act as a palimpsest memorial brass and is likely to be associated with funerary contexts. There are parallels for it at NMS-EE1748, NMS-CC09E7 and to a lesser extent SF-2A0495. The object is likely to date from the period between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. It measures 34.19mm in length, 20.40mm in width and 3.72mm in thickness and weighs 16.38g.
