Description: | Simple flat lead weight, roughly triangular in plan with an outward curved lower edge and a rough hole through the top point. The lower edge has a bevelled back and it may originally have been lozenge shaped with the lower point cut off. It is 29.3mm by 29.2mm and 9.7mm thick; it weighs 40.17 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 |
