Description: | A cast lead weight, probably a trade weight. Probably originally a flat disc the edge has been cut off. There is a central stamp mark of 3 parallel lines inside a circular border, presumably referring to 3 units of whatever the measure was (ounces?). If it is a trade weight it probably dates from between the late medieval period and the late eighteenth century (after which even provincial weights started to be made in brass until lead was outlawed in the 1830s). | 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: | 1400
