Copper alloy vessel fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A triangular section curving bar, expanding to an everted thickened rounded terminal at one end, broken at the other.

Lead hem wight. Cast discoid weight with a central sunken panel on one side wherein lie three drilled stitching holes. The metal retains a grey tint suggesting a recent date. Though probably most are of Victorian date, these objects continue to be sold today for crafts.
