Description: | Lead standing weight, probably dating to the late Medieval - post-medieval period. The weight is cone-shaped with an integral handle in the form of a hole through the top of the weight. The weight has a slightly concave base and several deep grooves, possibly where it has been hit by the plough whilst in the groud. The mass of the weight is 179g and it measures 49.13mm in length and 28.1mm in diameter (across the base). Standing weights made of lead were still used in relatively recent times but their use was made illegal after 1834. | Subjects: | Standing | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
