Description: | A lead weight, roughly circular in shape, with a small hole through the middle. The weight is flat on both sides and the edges are rounded. The hole in the centre measures about 2mm. On one of the flat surfaces, around the edge of the hole there is a slight lip. The weight is undecorated. The surface of the weight is smooth. One surface of the weight is also scratched. The lead has gone a light brownish-grey colour. This weight is possibly medieval, but most probably post-medieval in date. Due to that fact that so few lead weights have been found in archaeological contexts, only a very broad date range can be allocated. Weight: 46g (1.6oz).
