Description: | A corroded and damaged conical weight cast in lead. The base is uneven (the weight does not stand fully upright) and bears an off-centre perforation which runs along the length of the object (Dia.: c. 6mm); the hole tapers slightly towards the top. Around the hole is possibly a circular groove, although so much has been lost from the base it is difficult to tell whether or not this is a deliberate feature. By the top the object has tapered to a diameter of c. 10mm. This artefact has suffered a number of gauges and scratches. Although this object is undiagnostic a possible medieval date is suggested based upon finds made in the vicinity.
