Description: | Late Saxon weight, discoidal with convex sides and a triangular arrangement of three tiny counter-relief semi-circular stamps. Some pitting and corrosion around outside edge. Diameter 16mm. 4mm thick. Weighing 5.68g, 0.20oz. This weight, allowing for loss where pitted and corroded, is not far from a quarter of the significant unit of weight (26.6g) identified from around 200 Dublin finds (Mainman and Rogers Finds from Anglo-Scandinavian York (2000), p.2563). 10th/11th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
