Description: | An incomplete lead or lead alloy unidentified object, but possible ferrule or cane top, possibly of the Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1550 - c. AD 1800.The object is conical in profile and circular in section. The top is curved slightly then slopes down to form a rounded edge below which the sides taper inwards to a flat base. There is a circular perforation running through the centre of the object and appears wider at the top than at the base. The interior diameter of the perforation at the top is 12.1 mm and at the bottom is 11.3 mm. There appears to be no decoration, but there are marks and grooves present probably as a result of wear.The object measures 24.4 mm long and is 20.8 mm wide. It hasa thickness of 5.1 mm and weighs 38.1 mm.The object is a mid grey in colour and has an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Similar examples have been recorded on the database including SF-EEBC20.
