Description: | Medieval standing weight; pair of cast lead weights of probable medieval date. The weights are of flat, triangular, prismatic shape and are both pierced from apex to base with a small, circular hole. The two weights are of almost identical shape and style and have a similar thick, grey-brown patina over their surfaces. They were also found in very close proximity to each other, all of which suggests that they formed, or were part of, a set of weights for weighing different quantities of substances.
Length 25.4mm, width max. 20.6mm min. 7.8mm, thickness 7.9mm, weight 26.03g
Length 13.2mm, width max. 12.8mm min. 5.7mm, thickness 8.4mm, weight 7.99g
