Description: | A relatively large cast lead weight, possibly used as a spindle whorl or similar object and of probable Medieval or later date. In form it is cylindrical with flattened top and bottom surfaces and a neat central circular aperture. There are no traces of decorative elements on any of the surfaces. It measures 25.74mm in diameter, 16.68mm in height/thickness, and weighs 66.68g. This lead weight may date to the Medieval period, or perhaps earlier, although the form and neatness of the aperture, combined with the findspot, might indicate a later date int he Post-Medieval period.
