Description: | Cast lead trade weight or net weight, a flat rectangular prism in profile, with an integral attachment loop with a perforation hole of about 5 mm in diameter. The base is rectangular in section but not flat so that the weight is not free-standing. It is 40 mm in length, 19 mm in width and 15 mm in thickness at it base and 7.3 mm in thickness at its attachment loop. The weight weighs about 55.17 grams which equates to about two ounces averdepois.
Biggs & Withers illustrate a similar weight on page 31, No.67, which is probably medieval.
Bailey (1995) also depicts a similar weight on page 31, No.1, but does not date it.
