Bronze lid? The object comprises a short cylinder of sheet bronze with one end closed. Through the centre of the round flat end passes a split pin staple with its ends bent back on the inside. Through the loop of the staple passes another piece of wire, perhaps part of a chain. The edges of the cylinder taper inwards and, although there is some damage, sufficient of the original outer edge remains to show their full extent.
Site Name: Roman Gates Site, Caerleon
Notes: found during the excavation of barrack-blocks etc. on the 'Roman Gates' site, carried out by the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust.
