Description: | Possible Late Saxon ingot of rectangular section with rounded ends. The surfaces are pockmarked, and there is a pair of irregular impressions on one broad face, and a single, shallower one on the other. There is no evidence of hammer marks. Length 29mm. Width 11mm. Thickness 5mm. Weighing 10.73g / 0.378oz / 165.6 grains. There has probably been weight loss, as suggested by the abraded surfaces, but there is no obvious correlation with the three postulated weight systems of the 9th - 11th century.
