Description: | A lead steelyard weight of uncertain date. The weight of this piece lies between the Roman pound and half pound; this fact, plus the fact that it lacks the classic bi-conical form, suggests that it is probably not Roman in date. A date of medieval to post-medieval is therefore suggested.The weight is sub-conical, having slightly convex sides and a rounded top edge. From the centre of this top edge extends an iron loop. At the centre of the underside is a sub-circular depression. The object measures 41.7mm high, 34.5mm wide and weighs 261.62g.
