Description: | A lead weight of probable Medieval date. It is pyramidal and stands on a flat rectangular base measuring 19.17mm x 17.40m. The sides are flat and taper to the apex which is perforated with a circular hole close to its tip. The weight stands 32.53mm in height and weighs 53.71g. Weights of this type with flat bases were intended to be free-standing and examples with a suggested 12th-13th century date are illustrated in Biggs 1992, pp40-41.
