Description: | A crudely cast lead artefact, probably a home-made weight possibly dating from the Early Medieval or Medieval period. It is oval in shape with a raised rim. In the centre of the weight is a faintly incised cross. It has a light grey patina. It has a diameter of 31.02mm, thickness 5.88mm, weight 31.32g. At 1.1oz, it seems unlikely that this weight fits into the standard system of pounds and ounces. A similar weight but smaller is YORYM-6AE013 which has been attributed to the Viking period.
