Description: | Plano-convex lead weight, 22 mm in diameter and 20 mm tall. In the centre is a circular perforation which flares from 8 mm in diameter at the domed top to 12 mm at the flat bottom. It is very neatly made and weighs 50.52g (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.
