m thick, with two holes running obliquely through it, and a groove on one face (Fig. 21).
time in the form of a cap about 0.022 m in diameter, with a hole in one side, and with the upper third being solid, although pierced by a square sectioned hole down from the
top (Fig. 21).
K 21. A distorted piece of lead, probably scrap,
although is might be the buckled remains of the inboard end of a scupper pipe, 0.028 m long (76 K 65; Site C , 3.5/8.6).
There is still a good deal of recording and
investigating to be done on the lead ingots raised in 1976; their detailed publication must therefore be postponed until this is completed. For a drawing of the stamps identified to date on these ingots see Fig. 22. Apart from the circular mark which evidently includes the date ‘1664’, the meaning of these signs and symbols is at present unknown.
L. Iron objects
Obviously, most iron objects have disappeared entirely through corrosion, or are only evi- denced by casts in concretion; however, a couple have survived substantially intact. L1.-An iron object, now broken in two, with a
cross-sectioned shank, and a circular head
with a rectangular hole in the top (Fig. 23). L2. An iron ring-bolt, 0.18 m long, and 0.08 m
in diameter at the head.
