Description: | Flat lead weight, sub-oval in shape, roughly 46 x 37 mm and 4 mm thick. There is a roughly central perforation 10.5 mm in diameter. The edges are slightly burred over. One face is rougher than the other. It weighs 47.74g (1.68 oz). Assigning a date and function to simple weights such as this one is not easy, but lead weights do seem to have been most common in the medieval and post-medieval periods.
