Summary
Lead - 161. Large lump of lead. Weight 5kg (11 lbs). This is mentioned by Mr Farrer in P.S.A.S., Vol vi. It is evidence of fire at some part of the building since it could only have been formed by melted lead, eg guttering, dripping onto a tiled or stone surface and subsequently solidifying. See no. 277 (may be same item?).
