Description: | A complete cast lead standing weight, probably dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period between AD 1200 - 1800 (length: 41.5mm; width at base: 26mm; thickness at base: 21mm; weight: 98.13g).This weight has an irregularly cast sub-rectangular pyramid form with a small hollowed area at the base with the edges curved slightly inwards. The artefact narrows to a flat-sectioned rounded top with a slightly misshapen circular hole to enable the weight to be attached onto another object. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition.Similar examples are illustrated in Biggs. N & Withers, P, 2000, 'Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection', pages 30-1, ref nos 70-1 particularly.
