On one face, at the centre, there is a triangular depression. The opposite face also has a depression close to the narrow end. It is unclear whether these depressions are accidental features or whether they have been create…

A complete cast lead 'pig' or ingot, possibly dating to the Roman period, between AD 70 - 410. The 'pig' is rectangular in plan and rectangular in side section (cuboid shape).

The length is 500mm; width at larger end is 600mm; width at narrow end: 140mm; thickness/ depth: 130mm; weight: unable to clarify due to excessive weight of the artefact. Another lead 'pig' or ingot was also found at the same site but was left in situ and apparently others have been previously discovered with markings. Examples o…

A fragment of thick lead sheeting, measuring 69.15x56.85x5.19mm and weighing 106.01g. To the reverse it is plain but to the other face, the top two thirds are taken up with a panel of lettering - the remanants of an A possibly, R or E and a ligated C or O and H. The stem of the first leg of the H continues vertically to the break, which appears to be relatively recent. The opposite edge appears complete. The break at the A has been cut, but is patinated. This cut is vertical but steps inward for the top third of the object. The break on the opposite side is jagged and slightly rough s…

Cast lead object, apparently with a thin section, its surface covered with fine ribs or grooves (as this object can now only be described from the drawing some features are open to doubt). It was described as the 'Lower half of a lead figurine, most probably a toy. Skirt very pleated'. An examination of works on lead toys (Forsyth and Egan 2005) and pilgrim badges (Spencer 1998) failed to find any parallels and it is possible that it represents the remains of one of the so called 'bird feeders' (these are too narrow and deep to have allowed a bird to feed or drink). A post Medieval da…

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast lead spherical vessel with a protruding cylindrical spout, about 8 mm in diameter, that might have also been used as a handle. This might be a miniature lead vessel, representing a larger copper alloy cauldron or round-bottomed vessel, and was probably used as a toy. A variety of miniature lead-alloy kitchen items are known from the 16th to the 18th century (Egan, 1988, 2). The upper edge of the vessel is torn and uneven, so it is difficult to say whether there was another handle or whether this might be a jug with a spout. It may just be the product of melting lead on…

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead or lead alloy mount, probably fairly modern 1800 to 1900AD, in the shape of a knight on a horse (the knight's head has come off & it looks like something may have come adrift under the horses hooves). It appears to have been mounted using a central stud. It measures 120mm long and 78mm wide. There is a copper alloy mount of similar subject on the PAS, BH-B91E31, but it has been attached at multiple points. It is worth noting that there were Pilgrim badges with a similar subject (possibly George & the Dragon)and made of the similar material (lead or lead alloy). There appears to b…

Lead Pump seal Weights, as kindly identified by Dr Kevin Leahy. Two cast plates (a and b). Each object is a plate with one rounded end and an opposed straight edge, formed like the heel of a boot. The objects have bevelled edges, which for a heel would be angled inward and forward. The 'upper' surfaces bear integrally cast waisted studs with rounded heads of diameter 22-25mm. The larger of these objects retains fragments of thick (circa 4mm) leather in the waist of the stud, which probably passed through a slightly smaller hole cut in the leather. The leather would be oiled to serve…

Cast lead incomplete object of uncertain function and of possible medieval date. It is sub-circular in plan and oval in section. The outer edge is raised and rounded on the upper surface while the reverse is flat. The upper surface is decorated with a flower-like design consisting of two raised petals and a raised central circle. Two more petals probably decorated the opposite half which is missing. A raised border encloses the flower. There is a small circular indentation on the reverse of the object. This is an interesting object however it's function is unknown.
