Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
The waste is in the form of a sub-rectangular block. The edges are slightly irregular, but appear to have cooled within a rectangular 'frame'. One surface appears to have cooled and was open to the air as the surface is irregular and 'bubbly'. There is a small patch of iron staining. The other face is relatively flat except for a sub-oval shaped indentation, which is concave in profile. This indentation has mainly smooth sides, except for patches where, presumably the molten material has not filled the void completely.
