English: Lead possible architectural fragment. An oval sleeve of cast lead with a flange on its upper side [as cast] which appears to have been used to sheath another object, probably being poured when the latter was set in its position. This may have helped secure light ironwork such as a railing or hinge pivot set in masonry, and would retard its corrosion. If so, the arrangement was disrupted before the iron rusted. A grey tint to the metal indicates a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.
