Description: | Cast lead weight, possibly a plumb bob, of uncertain date.The body of the weight is cylindrical in form with a cone shaped terminal at one end and a hole drilled into the opposite end possibly for suspending the weight on the end of a string or line. A slight blob on the end of the cone shaped end may be the remains of a casting sprue, The weight has pale yellow grey corrosion over most of its surface with hints of the grey metal visible in places beneath.Possible parallels on the PAS database include a very similar example from Arlington, East Sussex (SUSS-354963)It is 33.6mm long and 6.4mm in diameter. It weighs 9.96g
