An incomplete Post Medieval or Modern lead or lead alloy object being a flat band or strip with breaks to both short ends, perhaps c AD 1750 - 1900. The long edges have apparently been deliberately cut to produce the strip but there is some burring of the metal and it appears to be slightly buckled along its length. It is pierced in two places by irregular holes; perhaps large nail holes; one is sub rectangular and approximately central to the band, the other sub rectangular in outline but a less clean hole, placed centrally but close to one short end. The same tool appears to have be…
