A lead pot mend and a fragment of the ceramic vessel, of probable Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The mend is two discs of lead, one large and oval and one smaller and nearly square. They are joined by a short stem (making the mend H shaped in cross-section) through a hole in the ceramic vessel. Some of the ceramic fabric survives. It appears to be a greyware with frequent quartz inclusions, suggesting a Roman date. Measurements are; length 28.3mm, width 24.2mm, thickness 9.9mm and weight 22.87g.

All three vats have similar folded seams at two sides of the vat, where the sides join together. Vat 1 is the larger of the three vats and exhibits different decoration to the other two. Vat 1 has raised twisted rope style in a chevron or a zig z…

A cast lead vessel repair (pot mend) of uncertain Roman to Post-Medieval date c. AD 43-1800.  The mend is formed of two sub-oval shaped faces - one flat, the other slightly concave - connected by an internal shank, all cast in a single piece. The flat face is somewhat larger and more regularly shaped than the other. The two faces sit very close, and in places right up against each other, so the shank is represented by a slight groove around the edges of the flat sides only. On one side, this groove widens to accommodate a small triangle of pottery st…
