Description: | A long hollow, cylinder perforated lead weight, known as a standing weight. The hole which runs through the centre of the weight has a rounded section. These weighs are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been fishing weights dating from the medieval period or later, but due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated. The weight is undecorated, but both ends are well rounded and taper inwards. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
