A minimum of three lead or lead alloy, possible vat or tanks, of uncertain dating but possibly Early Medieval (AD 750 to AD 1000). The three vats were originally found together, but are now fragmentary. All three vats have oval bases, and originally upright walls, however they have all been flattened, with the sides pressed inwards. 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…
