Description: | A cast lead steelyard weight of probable Roman or later date. It is cylindrical in form with a central iron suspension loop that is flat with a circular aperture and protrudes through the base of the object. It measures 32.83mm in diameter, 43.56mm in height including suspension loop, 30.31mm excluding suspension loop, and weighs 175.77g. This steelyard weight may date as early as the Roman period given its findspot, however the suspension loop might indicate a later date range, possibly as late as the Post-Medieval period.
