Description: | A tear dropped shaped lead weight, with a small circular perforation running through the centre of the weight. The hole, which runs through the centre of the weight, is now largely filled with lead corrosion product and soil. These weights are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been fishing weights dating from the medieval period or later, but due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated. The weight is undecorated, but both ends are well rounded. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
