Abstract
A circular lead tank was discovered in 2020 by metal detector users near Rudston, East Yorkshire, within the area of cropmarks of a ladder settlement complex. Emergency excavation revealed the tank to be associated with Roman potsherds and quern fragments and a possible flue. The tank had been nailed to a wooden vessel as an external basal lining which was damaged by heating from below. The subsequent decay of the wooden vessel promoted collapse of its setting. The finds and archive are deposited with the East Riding of Yorkshire Museum Service.
