Description: | 1: A possible lead weight or spindle whorl, roughly conical in shape measuring 29mm in diameter and 12mm in height. There is a roughly circular perforation through the centre of this possible weight, measuring 10mm in diameter. It is 37.00g in weight.
2: A possible lead weight. Flat and circular in shape measuring 39mm in diameter with a central circular perforation measuring 5.4mm in diameter. This possible weight is 43.82g in weight.
3: A possible lead biconical weight measuring 17mm in diameter and 17.3mm in height. This possible weight does not have a central perforation which is unusual. Perhaps this is because it was not finished. It weighs 21.9g.
Lead weights are very difficult to date, these examples could date from the Roman to the medieval period, however as they have been found on a Roman site they are perhaps most likely to be Roman in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
