Description: | Lead wrapped around the base of a wooden rod, probably a counterweight from a machine of some type. Part of the rod remains. The lead is rough, cylindrical with a slightly widened, rounded, concave base and an irregular top. It is 21.5mm in diameter, 30.3mm tall and 46.9 grams.
The weight is clearly irregular and probably homemade it is therefore hard to date precisely. That the wood remains insitu may suggest a relatively recent date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
