Description: | A lead weight of uncertain Roman or later date. It is square in shape and section with a single central circular perforation. The two faces that are perforated have slightly raised edges with folded corners, possibly deliberately although perhaps as a result of use wear or post-depotisional damage. The object measures 15.09mm in length, 14.99mm in width, 13.60mm in thickness, and weighs 21.14g. The central perforation on this object suggests a possible usage as a weight, however a different usage as a token, gaming counter, or similar item cannot immediately be ruled out. This object is of uncertain date, and may be from any point from the Roman period onwards.
