Description: | A small weight made of lead. The weight is conical in shape. The base of the weight has a small central indentation 4mm in depth. There is also a smaller indentation on the top and these may have originally joined forming a hole through the weight. The weight is 17.7mm diameter at the base and 7.8mm diameter at the top. It is 13.8mm tall and weighs 17.09 grams. Plain weights were cast locally in lead for a wide variety of uses from the Roman period onwards and are hard to date precisely although most are late Medieval - Post Medieval. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
