Description: | Lead pipe fragment. A short length of cast lead pipe of internal diameter 14.6mm and maximum wall thickness 6.4mm, slightly curved, gouged at one end, possibly from its having been forced into the aperture of a larger pipe or outlet, and patinated overall. This may have directed water into a trough or out from a pump. The pipe lacks the ridging to be expected of a pipe rolled from cast sheet with a sealed seam - the medieval way of making lead pipes - though the insertion of one short length into the next was employed with late medieval ceramic pipes. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1850.Length: 79mm, External diameter: 24mm, Weight: c.235gms.
