Description: | Cast lead tin alloy object. The object is conical with corroded and broken edges around the rim and point. The base is slightly concave and the sides have fairly regularly spaced raised lines running dowm them. The broken edges suggest the object has tin in the alloy. The purpose is not clear but it may be a weight of some form. There may have been a suspension loop at the top, now lost. It is 31.6mm in diameter and 22.4mm tall; it weighs 58.49 grams. The date is unclear and it could be of any age from Roman to Modern (43-1900 AD).
