Description: | Roman to post medieval date (c. AD43-1600) lead pot mend: It consists of a broadly triangular piece of lead with a sub H-shaped section. The void on the edge has a fragment of ceramic material remaining with an oxidised orange-brown surface and a dark grey core. The lead has a thick white patina.Lead pot mends were used throughout the Roman and medieval periods as a result these are extremely difficult to date unless dateable ceramic material survives with the repair. The ceramic material is too small to date.The pot mend measures 36.29mm in length, 28.95mm maximum width, is 7.21mm thick and weighs 35.98g.
