Description: | A cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is crudely cast, circular in plan and with bevelled edges giving the appearance of a flattened dome shape. The upper surface is coarse with uneven surfaces and many holes, and is decorated with a moulded raised cross. The back face is flat and contains several circular holes, probably the result of air in the metal during the casting process. It appears as though the lead has been poured into a mould and allowed to cool/harden, hence the uneven finish to the surface. This weight measures 68.09mm in diameter, 12.04mm in thickness, and weighs 246.68g. This example is of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.
