An incomplete Roman lead curse tablet, dating to c AD 43 - 410. The find is a sub rectangular sheet of lead, folded once. However, the ends do not meet as they may once have done, because only two sides are cut, the other two apparently with early damage and torn, including the top edge and the outer part of one folded edge. Inscribed capital letters can be seen on the inside section, where the tear has exposed that surface, but also on the outside. Transverse lines have been incised to guide the letters. Once the tablet was gently unfolded, the letters on…

An incomplete probably Roman lead weight, dating to c AD 43 - 410. It is ovoid or egg shaped, with a small circular hole at the top and bottom suggesting a piercing that goes all the way through and intended to take a metal suspension rod.

The outer surface of the weight is heavily scored by various  hard edged objects but there is a suggestion of intentional marking to indicate the weight.  Dimensions:60mm in length/height; c43mm in diameter; weight 625g…

A section of lead with the remnants of an iron nail which appears to be Roman through it dating to c AD 43-410 (but may be later). The object comprises a sub-rectangular piece of lead. At one end, the lead has a flat vertical face and curved corners. The other end appears to have been broken off or cut as the horizontal line is not even and the vertical end face is sloping in on the back. There is an iron nail through the lead with the shank broken off. Around the nail on the back of the object are brown marks possibly evidencing a washer of the shape of the object to which the sectio…

A lead vessel repair or mend, possibly Roman in date, dating to to the period c. AD 43-410. The pot mend comprises a roughly circular, fairly flat outer plate of lead 40.31 mm long, and a smaller, irregularly shaped domed inner plate. This lead plug would have filled the hole in the ceramic vessel. From the browny-pink matter sandwiched between the two parts of the plug, the vessel is probably an oxidised coarse-ware. The mend weighs 68.46 g.
