A possibly Roman lead alloy stylus, which is 71.31mm long and 9.66mm in diameter. The object is in fair condition with a creamy patina and weighs 33.59 grams. The object consists of a circular shaft which is tapered and faceted at one end and at the other end tapers to a point. There are many similar objects on the PAS database, but a Roman date cannot be certain as similar tools were used in later periods too, especially the medieval and Post Medieval periods..
