Description: | A lead alloy disc which is probably a trade weight. It has a diameter of 18.7mm and is 3.7mm thick. It weighs 8.1g which is 0.28 of an ounce. Given the extensive corrosion and patina, this seems close enough to be a quarter oz weight. The edges of the weight are rounded and the faces are flat. There are no visible marks or decoration. The weight is likely to date from the late medieval or post medieval period. Similar but better preserved examples can be seen in Lead Weights by Biggs and Withers.
