Description: | An irregular sheet of lead, possibly a plaque, and possibly of Middle to Late Saxon date. The item has a flat, rectangular body, with a broadly straight terminal at one end, and a pointed terminal at the other end. Ten irregular circular holes are visible around the perimeter, all of wich push through the lead in the same direction. The holes are irregularly distributed around the perimeter, and four cluster at the pointed terminal. The surface on both sides of the sheet is worn, containing patches of light brown patina. Feint incised lines are visible on the upper side, but these are irregularly placed and are more likely to be damage than indicative of an inscription. The sheet is now crumpled.
