Description: | A lead alloy object, probably a weight, of uncertain date. The object is a lop-sided cylinder which stands nicely on one end, though it was not necessarily intended to do so. There are some deep scratches on the sides and a central hole in each end. It is not certain whether the holes link up to perforate the object. It is 16.4mm long and has a diameter of 17mm. It weighs 23.1g or 0.8oz. Little is known about the function and provenance of these lead, weight-like objects. They may be connected to fishing, but there are many other possible uses. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
