Description: | Two lead weights, Post Medieval in date.They are sub-rectangular in plan, being rounded and slightly narrowed at the top end. They each have a circular perforation at the top end, presumably for attachment. The base is flat but there is a concave rectangular slot underneath. It is thought this sort of weight was used for fishing but they could have many purposes. Both weights were too heavy for my scales- which go up to 200g. Weight 1-Length- 61.92mmWidth- 37.03mmThickness- 12.17mmWeight 2-Length-63.03mmWidth- 36.22mmThickness- 12.68mm
