A lead pot repair of probable Roman date (AD 43-410). Overall it measures 40.50mm x 32.75mm x 12.95mm and weighs 56.93g. It comprises of a worn potsherd from the side of a vessel and two sheets of lead of a similar size. The potsherd is 2.75mm thick and is curved. The lead sheet on the concave side is 2.25mm thick while the lead on the convex side varies from c.4mm to c.7mm thick. The potsherd comes from the body of a vessel made with a red fabric which has no visible inclusions and is therefore probably fine ware (hence the probable Roman date).
