Description: | A cast lead weight of shallow biconical form of possible medieval date. The weight features a central perforation (D: 4.9mm) which runs the length of the object. The weight is worn and pitted. Bailey (1995, 29) suggests that weights of this form, often found in rural areas, could be net weights used to catch rabbits or birds.
