Description: | A heavy lead weight of circular, 'flattened' cylinder' form, crudely made with a central basal impression. The weight weighs 482g (1 lb 1 1/4oz). This example, like many others, is designed purely for function, and as such bears no diagnostic marks, makin it difficult to date more closely than 'Roman - Early Modern' , though a medieval or postmedieval date is perhaps most likely. It's mass is notable, and the weight must have been for using in industry, agriculture, or fishing, but it is difficult to be more precise. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
