Description: | A cast lead probable pan weight of probably Medieval (1100-1500) date. The weight is circular and flat with slightly rounded sides. The upper face is decorated with three raised concentric circles around a central pellet. It is 36.93mm in diameter, 5.10mm thick and weighs 46.75 grams, 1.649 ounces. Biggs, N. & Withers, P. Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection English Weights Series - 6 Llanfyllin, Powys, p.25, catalogue several similar weights with concentric circles which mostly cluster around 2 ounces in weight. They suggest these types may be Medieval in date although it is hard to be certain as they could be easily produced at home and the simple design may be used for a range of uses and dates (ibid:21). Cf. SUSS-E8A603 from the Chichester area, West Sussex.
