Two lead discs of uncertain function, likely of Roman date. The find consists of two lead discs, sub circular in plan, one with a (now partially flattened) turned up edge a pie crust, the other roughly flat. Due to the softness of the lead, both halves are damaged and distorted, meaning that exact original forms are uncertain. Each of the halves has been hammered using a hammer with a reticulated face, leaving marks very similar to the those described in “Manning, W.H. 1995. Report on the Excavations at Usk 1965-1976. The Roman Small Finds, plates XXXI, XXXII and XXXIII, pp31…
