Description: | Lead and iron robable nail fragment. Discoid cast biconvex lead sheath with a thick protruding shank of rusted iron; patinated, probably intended to retard the corrosion of an iron nail. If not a nail, this might be considered as a homemade button with the stub of an iron shank (e.g. Read 2005, pages 82-4), albeit of similar date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Diameter: 15.6m, Thickness (clear of shank): 5.8mm, Length (overall): 8.3mm, Weight: 5.46gms.
