Description: | A cast lead weight in the shape of a frustum, or truncated cone. At its base the weight is 22.1mm in diameter, while it is 12.2mm in diameter at the top. It has a hole running right through its centre; the hole tapers towards the top. On the base there is a broadly circular groove running between the hole and the circumference. The weight is worn and scarred. There is a possibility that it might have acted as a Roman steelyard weight. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
