Description: | A complete cast lead probable weight, possibly dating to the Roman period, between AD 43 - 410 (length: 54.5mm; width: 18mm; thickness: 14.5mm; weight: 62.0g). The weight is oblong-shaped in plan and sub-lozenge shaped in section with a crudely shaped suspension loop at the top of the artefact with a drilled circular inner hole (diameter of hole: 4.5mm). The artefact has a prominent and protruding central rib (length: 33mm) down the length of the artefact on either side, which also has a central and single incised line down the length of the rib. No other decoration is visible on this weight. Overall, the artefact is in a worn but in a fair condition. Similar artefacts have been recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (see WMID-9521F5, found in Bushwood, Warwickshire, WMID-796B76, found at Mayfield, Staffordshire and WMID-1BAAF2, found in Leigh, Staffordshire). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
