Description: | Cast lead-alloy weight, probably dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. 1700-1900. The weight is conical in shape and not heavily patinated. It has a cast cu-alloy loop in the top for suspension and was probably used as a steelyard or fishing weight. Lead weights have been used throughout the Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods and it usually is very difficult to date unmarked ones like this one.
