Description: | A small weight made of lead. The weight is a tall cone shape. The piece has been cast. There is a hole in the base of the lead, which extends up the centre of the weight. Unfortunately, the length of this hollow was not ascertained, as the hole is full of soil and lead corrosion. The base of the weight is flat. The edges are rounded. The weight is undecorated. There is no apparent wear, but the lead has gained a light grey patina. 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: 12.85g.
