Description: | Conical cast lead weight with a circular, flat base. A hole with a diameter of 8.79mm runs all the way through the object, which has a maximum diameter of 21mm and a height of 12.61mm.
Weights such as these probably had a variety of uses as spindle whorls, cloth weights and weighing of amounts. A similarly shaped example from the Billingsgate lorry park watching brief was dated to between 1350 and 1400AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Gill, Elizabeth | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
