Description: | LeadPossible net weight. Tubular weight, made from a rolled piece of cast lead sheet. The weight has perhaps been partly unclenched. The type appears as a fishing weight in the 15th-century Blackfriars (London) boat, but in North Lincolnshire stratified examples of barrel-shaped form come from Middle Saxon deposits at Flixborough. This example is plainer and smaller than these, so a wider date-range is offered. Suggested date: Early Medieval-Medieval, 700-1500.Length: 19.59mm, Diameter: 9.7mm, Thickness of sheet: 2.6mm, Weight: 10.37gms.
