A late Medieval to Post Medieval undecorated lead alloy vessel or container, dating from c. AD 1450 - 1700. The vessel is D-shaped in section; being rounded at the front and flat at the back. The vessel is open at the top, and the sides taper towards the closed end. There are no attachment holes or rivets visible, suggesting that the vessel stood on its own rather than being attached to a wall. Similar examples of this object have often been referred to as bird feeders or holy water holders. See IOW-9AEDE6 for a similar example; and for 'alternative suggestions including: dice shake…

A sub-circular disc-like lead alloy object, probably a vessel repair ('pot-mend') of Roman to medieval date. The vessel mend is crudely made with the remains of a shank on one side - the opposing side is pitted and uneven. These objects are very hard to date without contextual information. Suggested date: AD 43-1500. For comparison see NLM-61DCBD. The diameter is 20mm and the weight 20.38g. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. The lack of any vessel material left in the groove means they cannot be dat…

Coaseware pottery sherd water worn probably dating from the post-medieval period 1700-1900AD although there is the possibility that it is Roman. The sherd is grey with a mica temper and hazing probably due to the water action which suggests that it originally had a glaze. The length is 108mm, the width is 54mm and the weight is too heavy for scales. The length is 52mm and the width is 80mm.
