Description: | A cut fragments of a large circular lead weight. The weight would have had a flat top and a dished base. Approximately a quarter of the weight still survives.
There is an impressed stamp on the surface of the lead. It is a shield, with a cross shape on it. Inside the upper left corner there is a sword motif.
The weight is otherwise undecorated.
A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of excavated examples these weights can only be loosely dated to the late medieval to post-medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
