Description: | a copper alloy weight of probable medieval date. It is square and flat,being 2mm thick and measuring 9.77mm by 10.86mm and weighing 1.48g. The upper surface is decorated with a large square divided into four, with a cruciform pattern set at 45 degrees to the centre, each arm having three parallel lines. The under side is plain and corroded. Whilst it is not possible to identify the purpose of this object with certainty, it does ressemble a medieval bullion weight.
