Description: | A lead object of uncertain date and function. It is a rod of sub-circular to sub-rectangular cross section. One end is concave and measures 9.8mm wide and 8mm thick. The rod then tapers in thickness to a blunt wedge which is 8.8mm wide and 1.6mm thick at the tip. The object is 39.4mm long, so seems too short to be a stylus, though it could possibly be incomplete. It has a mass of 18.2g. The patina is very smooth and light grey and is perhaps more in keeping with a Post Medieval to Modern object, though earlier dates cannot be ruled out.
