An unidentfied object, a sheet of lead or lead alloy c 2.10mm thick, with rough edges all around, which has been roughly folded, not quite in half. Unknown date. The inner surface is pale cream/grey in colour, the outer surface a little darker and mottled with black. There does not seem to have been any particular purpose in folding it, in that it has not been folded tightly to, for example, act as a weight, and it does not appear to be a Roman curse tablet. It does appear to have had a previous purpose, again unidentified, in that one of the edges has a flattened margin c 4mm wide…
