Description: | A lead alloy object which may be a weight. The object is shaped like a teardrop in plan and is 90.9mm long and 28.7mm wide. The weight is uniformly 11.2mm thick but the whole object curves slightly instead of being flat. There is a small circular hole through the weight from front to back at the top of the drop shape. The surface of the weight is pitted and is a mid to dark grey colour with some areas of white corrosion. It weighs 228g. Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up. It is not possible to suggest a date for this example.
