Description: | Lead cone-shaped weight. These weights are difficult to date as they were in use over a long period of time from the Roman period onwards as supplies of lead were readily available in the British Isles from the 1st century onwards (although this example probably dates to the late medieval - post-medieval period). The weight is crudely cast and is very battered ? possible having been in contact with the plough. The weight has a central circular perforation all the way through and may have been used as a line weight for fishing or nets. The weight measures 19.2mm in height, 23.51mm in diameter and 45.46g in mass. | 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: | 1450
