Description: | A cast lead weight of uncertain date. It is oval shaped in form, trapezoidal in section and lacks any clear markings or stamps. It measures 26.51mm in length, 23.79mm in width, 7.33mm in thickness, and weighs 27.06g. This is probably a simple lead weight, possibly an unmarked trade weight, its weight of 27g being just under 1 ounce on the averdepois weight system (see Biggs, 1992: pp. 44). This suggests a possible date from the 15th century AD onwards, although a precise date for the object remains uncertain.
