Description: | Late medieval/ post medieval lead weight, c.30mm in diameter, 3mm thick and weighing 27.13g (0.957oz).The weight is flat on one side and slightly domed on the other with a small central depression. It is a rather crude home-made weight probably for a 1oz avoirdupois.Trade weights began to be cast in copper alloy in the 15th century but it was not until 1834 that lead weights were declared illegal. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
