Description: | A cast lead weight of probable Medieval to post-Medieval date. For similar weights, see Biggs and Withers 2000: 27.
The artefact has been roughly cast and is rectangular in plan. The convex upper surface bears nine moulded pellets, arranged in three rows of three. At the sides are transverse grooves which are probably the result of removing the weight from the mould before it had cooled.
The artefact measures 56.9mm long, 52.4mm wide and 14.9mm thick. At 289.08g it is not obviously associated with the averdepois pound system. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
