An incomplete lead-alloy piece of uncertain date: probably a piece of casting waste. It is a strip, triangular in section with very concave sides. One end is rounded the other has an old, almost square break. The lower side is slightly irregular. Emerging from the spine on the upper surface are six pellets spaced equally along its length. These extend down the sides and have all been truncated, with old breaks. They could be sprues from the casting process. It is 40.1mm long, 13.2mm wide, 4.8mm thick and weighs 8.40 grams.
