Description: | Cast lead weight, possibly Roman- Medieval in date.It is conical in shape with a slightly rounded pointed terminal. There is a hole in the base. The surface is uneven and there are some marks where it has been scratched by the plough. There is no sign of an attachment loop so it is unlikely to have been used as a steelyard weight.Weights of this shape and size were used over many periods and so it it difficult to date them more precisely when found out of context.
