lead-alloy lid, possibly Post Medieval to Modern in date (c.1500-1900) The lid is broadly circular in plan, and is decorated on its upper side with a moulded frog sitting on what appears a surface of lilly-pads, represented by raised small round circles of varying sizes, with a dot in their centre. Around the edge of the lid are a series of raised semi-circular mouldings, seven on either side, which would have enabled the lid to be gripped whilst turning.There are two protruding semi-circular lugs situated at opposing sides of the lid, suggesting that these possibly were fix…

Lead possible lid. Massy cast discoid object with a flat rough-textured upper surface with slightly thickened edge of width 9mm, and with a rounded circumferential flange on its underside along with a bowl-shaped central recess in the sides of which two circumferential grooves appear. Patinated. A conical hole of diameter 4.2-2mm, widest on the recessed side whence it was made, is placed centrally in the hollow and may mark provision for a separate handle [now lost]. It is considered that positioning with the flange downwards would permit the object to have closed a cylindrical vessel …

Lead lid. Cast discoid object with a central bordered depression with a rounded triangular-section rim rising above it; the reverse includes a thicker central part corresponding to the hollow and a rough, possibly finely sanded surface behind the rest. Dented or chipped on opposite edges. The metal retains a grey tint which may point to a relatively recent date. The identification is prompted by a similar object presented for recording by a member of the Grimsby and district Metal Detecting Club, fortuitously falling on the same day that this record was completed. That example had a dr…
