Description: | A cast lead alloy weight of Medieval to Post Medieval date, c. 1300-1700 AD. The weight is square in plan. The upper surface bears a relief-moulded potent cross which has two end bars extended at opposite ends to each other. It also has the letters O and P in the top half of the cross (letter P in retrograde); there are possibly two more letters in the bottom half but are to worn to read. It has a raised border around the perimeter of the top and two indents in opposite corners. The surfaces are marked and corroded. The weight measures 49.42mm wide, 49.33mm long and 18.03mm thick and 306.3 grams in weight (10.8 oz ). Similar weights are illustrated by Biggs and Withers (2000: 27-29).
