Description: | A cast lead vessel mend of Roman or later date. It has two irregularly flattened surfaces, separated by a narrow waist within which are the remains of an oxidised ceramic vessel wall. The fabric of the pottery is orange in colour with some small red/pink clay pellets. The entire object measures 31.72mm in length, 25.00mm in width, 10.79mm in thickness, and 22.29g in weight.It is plausible that this object may date as early as the Roman period, although what survives of the pottery vessel is no-longer closely identifiable to a distinctive ceramic type. A later date cannot be ruled out, although given the appearance of the pottery it is less likely to be of Saxon or Medieval date, but might potentially be of Post-Medieval date.
