Description: | Cast lead disc shaped weight with three raided parallel lines across one side and rounded edges. It is 28.4mm in diameter, 7.5mm thick and weighs 31.67 grams, 1.11ounces. The edges have corroded and there are various nicks and dents that suggest it was once slightly heavier. Simple cast least weights were made at home from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses, they are therefore hard to date precisely; this example could also be a gaming counter.
