A lead sealing dating to the second or third century AD. The sealing is oval in shape and approximately rectangular in section. The upper surface of the sealing appears to depict a male, bearded bust right in relief. The lower surface, although heavily damaged may depict a standing figure, of which only the legs are visible.

A lead object, possibly a sealing dating to the Roman period. The object is approximately circular in plan and rectangular in section.
