Description: | An incomplete cast lead seal or sealing of possible Roman date. One end of the object survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is rectangular in form, expanding slightly towards the old breaks. One face (back?) has a slight moulded incuse rectangle that perhaps has decoration or lettering but this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. The opposite (front?) face has a deeply stamped incuse rectangular field containing hte remains of lettering that appears to read []VSP. It measures 15.02mm in surviving length, 11.50mm in width, 4.12mm in thickness, and 3.53g in weight.A number of similar lead seals or sealings have been recorded through the PAS (e.g. BM-F32746, BM-F1C88D, SF-B7CF3A, NARC-94C741, BH-473505, LON-73BA46,BM-D44087, NCL-364FF2 or NCL384415). These indicate a potential Roman date for the current example, c.43-410 AD.
