Description: | A large dome shaped lead weight, with a circular base. There is an iron rivet in the base of the weight, it now only survives as a corroded strain of iron. The weight is unperforated.
The weight is undecorated but the weight has a very rough surface, suggesting that it has been crudely made and it has been damaged by the plough.
A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated. The weight appears to be complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
