Description: | Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1650). The weight is sub-circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The front face is domed (convex) and undecorated. The reverse face is also plain; however it does have an irregular central depression / possible abraded stamp in the shape of a J. The weight is a mid grey brown colour with an uneven, slightly corroded, and abraded patina that covers all surfaces. A direct parallel for this weight has not been found. It is most likely to date from the later medieval or post medieval periods and have been used as a two ounce weight. The weight measures 31.4mm in diameter and is 10.1mm thick. It weighs 59.14 grams or 2.09ozs (913 grains).
