Description: | A small weight made of lead. The weight is a tall cone shape. There is a hole in the base of the lead, which extends up the centre of the weight. Unfortunately, the length of this hollow was not ascertained, as the hole is full of soil and lead corrosion. The base of the weight is flat. The edges are rounded. The weight is undecorated. The surface of the weight is quite pitted. The lead has gone a light greyish-white colour. This weight is possibly medieval, but most probably post-medieval in date. Due to that fact that so few lead weights have been found in archaeological contexts, only a very broad date range can be allocated. Weight: 15.6g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
