Description: | Conical lead weight. Sub-circular in plan. Tapers upwards to a blunt point. A hole is pierced through the sides, at approximately 8mm from the top point, through which a (probably iron) suspension loop would have fitted.Accurate dating of lead weights is difficult, as similar types were in used from the Roman period through to the medieval period. This particular weight is more typical of medieval steelyard weights, than of Roman examples.
