Description: | Copper alloy circular trade weight from the post-medieval period, dating to the 17th or early 18th century. The base is flat and smooth. The top surface has a raised edge and a irregular hole has been gouged out, after the weight was made. There is also a central circle as decoration. The weight has 4 symbols punched into the top surface at 2, 5, 8 and 11 o'clock. These are- a cross, an 'A', a thistle and a possible acorn. Similar weights can be seen in Reads book (1995; p158-60).
