Description: | A lead weight of possible Roman to post-medieval date. Lead weights can be difficult to date as they rarely turn up in excavations and it would appear that their general form changed little for centuries.
This particular weight may be a net sinker. A vertical seam suggests that the object has been made from a sheet of lead which has been folded into a tube. It is bent and corroded.
The object measures 29.2mm long, 16.5mm in diameter and weighs 54.41g. | 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
