Description: | A small complete, shield shaped lead weight, with a flat top and base and curved edges. The triangular weight also has rounded corners. There is an extensive amount of damage on the top of the weight where the decoration is. Therefore it is illegible. The damage is in the form of deep incisions which give the impression they were done when the weight was hot due to the melting of the edges. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour and measures 48.71mm x 29.90mm x 15.34mm, weighing 111.32g. Due to a lack of examples and lack of context the date remains uncertain but it is probably Medieval. There are similar examples on the database; YORYM-3248C1, YORYM-AEBD01, SWYOR-EB5551.
