The hammer is formed in two parts, the handle and head, which are joined together by inserting the handle through a hole in the head. This has been secured through the head by the top of the handle being struck like a rivet and flattened. The hammer head is irregular in shape and broadly oval in cross section. It tapers and expands evenly along its length. The handle is oval in cross section and sub-rectangular in plan. There is no decoration on any part of the object. It measures 44.2mm length, 19.6mm width, is 7.8mm thick, and weighs 15.14 grams.
The hammer is a mid grey cream colour with an even but slightly corroded patina which covers all surfaces. Much of this patina has been removed from the handle by movement in the ploughsoil. Where this has occurred a light grey powdery corrosion product is present. A direct parallel for this object has not been found. Small lead tools, specifically axes, are relatively common Roman votive artefacts but this does not seem to fit within the corpus. The patina and construction of the piece suggests a date of more than 300 years but due to the lack of parallels a positive identification and date cannot be given.

The object is crudely made. It is mainly in the form of a sub-square tablet which has a maximum thickness of 6.1mm and a minimum thickness of 3.4mm. In plan, the tablet has rounded corners. On the front face it has an indeterminate design within a sub-square border. However, the design is obscured by pitting and corrosion as well as old and modern scuff marks. The rear face of the tablet is largely flat at either side of a slightly off-centre casting seam. The seam extends the full width of the object. About mid-way along the length of the seam there is a sub-triangular feature which is bent over at an angle of almost 90° to the rear face. This feature may be a handle although it is more likely to be casting sprue.
