Description: | A large lead weight of uncertain date. It is oval shaped in plan, sub-rectangular in section with slightly concave upper and lower faces. The sides are also slightly concave and to one side there is a slight constriction and incised groove as if something had been tied or wrapped around the entire object. A long incision is visible on one face and the entire object has numerous small incisions and pitting probably as a result of post-depositional damage. It measures 44.61mm in length, 39.07mm in width, 19.07mm in thickness, and weighs 242.17g. This weight is of uncertain date and could belong from any point between the Roman through Post-Medieval periods.
