Description: | LeadNet Weight. Cast sheet of thickness 1.6mm rolled up around a former; in this case perhaps the selvedge of a net. Such weighted nets were used for fishing and fowling. The net may have been discarded along with weights attached, as this weight has not been unclenched. Similar weights from North Lincolnshire are Early Medieval; however, though similarly made they are of heavier gauge sheet than this example, so a broader date range is suggested. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 800-1500.Length: 41mm, Width/Thickness: 9.3mm, Weight: 9.43gms.
