Description: | Irregularly made tall conical lead weight, 30 mm tall. The base is pentagonal and there are faint traces of mouldings running vertically up the corners. A central perforation flares from 8 mm in diameter at the top to 10.5 mm in diameter at the flat base. Part of the weight appears to be missing at the top. It now weighs 63.13g (2.22 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.
