Description: | Incomplete cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval or post medieval date (1200 - 1600). The weight is sub-oval (tear drop shape) in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The upper edge of the weight is damaged and would have probably terminated in a small flat perforated loop. The broken edge has a similar patina to that of the body which suggests an old break. Both faces of the weight are undecorated. The weight measures 58.7mm length, 39.2mm width, 11.2mm thick and weighs 141.95 grams or 5ozs (2190 grains). The weight is a mid grey white colour with an even but slightly abraded patina that covers all surfaces. It has been marked and abraded in the soil; this has caused the weight to become slightly asymmetrical and the edges indistinct.
