An incomplete fragment of probable silver casting waste, of uncertain dating, but probably Roman to Medieval (AD 43 to AD 1500). The fragment is sub oval in plan and section. The upper surface is smooth, whereas the lower surface is pitted. It measures 22.76 mm in length, 12.17 mm wide and 7.15 mm thick. It weighs 7.9 g.
