Description: | A short, undecorated, roughly conical perforated lead weight, with a flat oval base and top and angled sides, some are more steeply angled than others. The hole which runs through the centre of the weight has a circular section and it is 4.4mm in diameter, too small for a spindle whorl. Lead weights were easily cast at home for a variety of uses and plain examples are therefore hard to date more precisely than Roman - Post Medieval. It is 28.4 by 24.8mm at the base, 19.9 by 15.9mm at the top, 15.9mm thick and weighs 47.82 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
