Description: | A cast lead free-standing weight of possible Roman to post-medieval date. The function of such weights is uncertain; they may have been used to weigh goods or could be net sinkers.
The object is sub-conical in form, having slightly flattened faces. It tapers from a base of 19.2mm in diameter to a rounded loop at the top, where there is a sub-circular attachment hole. The height is 39.7mm and the weight is 71.48g. | 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: | 1
