The Roman lead pig or ingot AN almost 2,000 year old Roman lead ingot will take pride of place in Craven Museum following the successful fundraising of just under £23,000. Also known as a ‘pig’, the ingot, which dates from AD 81, is one of a pair found by Sir Thomas Ingilby in around 1731 at Hayshaw Moor, near Pateley Bridge. It is about 23 inches long, and four inches wide, and weighs 154Ibs, or 11 stones. It has been kept at Ripley Castle until now, while its companion has been in the British Museum since 1772. Danielle Daglan, Craven District Council’s cultural services manager, said it had great significance to the area and would be a ‘fantastic addition’ to the museum s collection.
