Description: | A small, but tall cone shaped lead weight, with an irregularly shaped base. There is a small irregular perforation running through the centre of the weight. The hole is now largely filled with lead corrosion product and soil. The weight is undecorated but the weight has a very rough surface, suggesting that it has been crudely made.
These weighs are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been fishing weights dating from the medieval period or later, but due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
The weight weighs: 41g (1.5 oz). | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
