Description: | Cast lead pan weight, circular in plan and flat in section, with no markings on either face, apart from those of more recent damage.The weight of 52.63g is equivalent to a little less than 2 ounces avoirdupois, but Egan (1998) illustrates similar examples on pages 312 & 316, Figs.232 & 235, Nos.987 & 1010, which are 53.5g and 51g respectively, and he suggests that they may have been used as one eighth of an avoirdupois pound of 15 ounces. These are dated from c.1270-1450.Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate similar examples of pan weights on page 2954, Fig.1520, Nos.12961 & 12963, both from Coppergate and dated to the 13th century, but this one is thicker and twice as heavy, and more similar in weight to an example from Bedern, No.14578, dated from the mid 15th to the early 17th century.
