An incomplete lead or lead alloy pilgrims ampulla, of medieval dating (AD 1175 to AD 1500). It is sub rectangular in shape, with an incomplet horizontal linear upper edge and a narrowed neck, and circular body. This horizontal edge of the ampulla appears to be pushed together. Decoration is faintly present on both sides. The obverse is undistinct but has a cross hatched background, and the reverse depicts a large leaf design inside cross hatching. A casting ridge is present around the sides of the ampulla. For more information, please visit the online database record available at: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1059750
