Description: | Thick circular lead weight, 25-26 mm in diameter and a maximum of 14 mm thick. One face is flat with a partial groove around the edge just above it; the other face is slightly rounded. In the centre is a circular perforation 9.5 mm in diameter. It weighs 52.14g (1.8 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.
