A complete cast lead alloy vessel pot mend (repair) probably of Roman or Medieval date. In plan, the object is sub-circular on both faces. No ceramic or copper-alloy remains attached to the lead to indicate what type of vessel the plug was used for. This object has rough surfaces with patches of off-white deposits. Length: 35.7mm; width: 25.0mm; thickness: 6.8mm. Weight: 31.58g. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. Without any remains of the pot it is impossible to date it more precisely.
