Description: | A spherical lead weight, probably a steelyard weight, of Roman or later date. It has worn surfaces and a small semi-circular suspension loop, probably made of iron, at the top. The weight is 32.44mm in diameter and weighs 158.012g. It is difficult to give a precise date for this example. It is possible that the weight is Roman in date, although its shape might indicate a later date in the Medieval or Post-medieval periods. See Bailey, 1995: pp. 31 for a similar, undated, spherical example.
