Description: | A complete cast lead weight of Medieval date. A circular flat dome-shaped weight with a raised, banded long-cross on its upper surface and the remains of a worn single pellet within each of its angles. It has a diameter of 37.3mm, thickness 13.2mm, and weighs 121.6g (4.29 oz). Showing signs of wear and corrosion. Its design can be compared with several weights from London decorated with radiating ribs and pellets; see Egan 1998, 311-16, especially nos. 988, 990 and 1008, all of which are from 14th-century deposits. Weights of similar design, but greatly varying size, have also been recorded on the PAS database; see KENT-B7E0C5, SF-86E033, NARC-28D5D6, SUR-C51C55 and YORYM-4753A4.
