Description: | Lead probable washer. A 'disc' cut from cast sheet of thickness 1.8mm with about seven knife-cut straight edges and an off-centre hole c.4mm square; patinated overall. The hole may suggest that the shank of a small handmade nail passed through the object. This may be a scrap left behind during removal of flashing and lifted with the nails as a secondary operation, perhaps less likely because of its light gauge; or may have been set below a nail head to retard its corrosion. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Diameter: 29.1mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 9.11gms.
