Description: | A large and tall cone shaped lead weight, with an almost circular base.
The remains of an iron loop is still in situ at the apex of the cone. The weight is undecorated, but the surface is scuffed and heavily indented in places.
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 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 |
