Description: | Small lead, cone shaped standing weight. Weights of this type are often difficult to date as they were still used until relatively recently ?? although the use of lead weights was made illegal by 1834. Standing weights can also be confused with net weights used by fishermen as these were similar in form and hence the function of these lead objects can be difficult to ascertain. The weight has a small circular perforation through the top. It weighs 26.25g and measures 20.09mm in length, 16.67mm in diameter. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
