Description: | A lead 'fishing' weight. Both faces are decorated with curved 'arrowhead' motifs.Such weights are difficult to date, and their precise function is uncertain, though they may have been used in fishing or weaving. This particular example could date to any time between the Roman and postmedieval periods, though the ornament may point to the upper end of this range.
