An irregular cast lead alloy vessel repair (pot mend) of either Roman (50-400) or Medieval date (1200-1500). The repair is incomplete being broken and fragmentary in form. In plan it is broadly oval and is an abraded H shaped in cross section. The mend does not have the remnants of the pottery and so the date cannot be refined further. These types of mend were used within both the Roman and Medieval periods. The vessel repairs measures 33.4mm length, 26.5mm width is 11.5mm thick and weighs 51.37 grams. The H section has a groove of variable width - most regularly 2.2mm wide.

Post Medieval cast lead-alloy spherical shot (musket ball). The casting seam, with the two halves of the shot misaligned, runs around the circumference and the stub of the casting sprue is still attached. There is no sign of impact. Although usually termed 'musket ball' the shot may have been used with other weapons and therefore the term lead shot is usually preferred. The shot has been dated c.1600-1800 in line with the basic usage period for this type of ammunition.
