Description: | Simple roughly conical lead weight with a concave circular base and tall sides which taper inwards to the top, the top is flattened into a rectangular section with a transverse piercing, the upper part of which has broken away from old damage. It is 23.2mm in diameter at the base, 34.5mm tall and weighs 66 grams. Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses 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 |
