Description: | Complete cast lead standing weight (or possible gaming piece) of probable Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (AD 1200 - AD 1600). Length 26.4mm, diameter 27mm. Weight 90.22g. (3.183 ounces).The weight is cylindrical in form and has a maximum diameter of 27mm. About 10mm from the base, up the side of the weight, is a small circumferential step. As viewed in plan, this stepped part is sub-circular and has a maximum diameter of 20mm. From the edges of this part of the weight there are four roughly equally spaced projections that spring upwards and meet at the centre beneath a large irregularly shaped globular knop; the whole resembling an open crown. The underside is slightly concave and has a number of indentations. These features may reflect the imperfections of the mould in which it was cast. The weight is in good condition and has several old dents.
