Description: | The object is a cast lead or lead alloy steelyard weight. The date is likely to be Romano-British, mid 1st to mid third century. Barford, Blockley and Day discuss a steelyard from Marshfield, Avon which includes a similar looking steelyard weight. In plan the weight is an asymmetrical biconvex shape, which is sub-circular in the section. Protruding from each end there are two iron prongs, which originally were probably loops. The weight has a shiny beige/cream coloured patina. The weight weighs 237g and measures 56.1mm long, and 36.7mm in diameter.
