Description: | A cast lead circular weight. The weight has a circular perforation which is 1.8mm in diameter at the top and 4.7mm in diameter at the bottom. The perforation is off centre. The weight is flat on the botton and has a crude raised star shape pattern on the top, made of 4 lines crossing. It is probably from the medieval period. The weight is complete. It is 23.4mm in diameter, 16.3mm thick and weighs 53.24gms.
