Description: | A complete Medieval cast lead weight, circa 1200 AD -1500 AD. A flat rectangular weight with a raised rim and a banded long-cross on its upper surface. Worn, with recent graze to one of the arms of the cross. The bottom is slightly concave.The weight measures 48.6mm in length, is 45.6mm wide,has a thickness of 10.7mm, and weighs 198.8g (6.7 oz). There is a slight scrape to the lead on the upper surface.Compare PUBLIC-A083A6, LIN-92A8C4, BH-333186, YORYM-6B33B3, HAMP-37B055 and YORYM-9809E3. These are likely to be medieval, as similar ly decorated circular lead weights have been found in 14th-century contexts in London (Egan 1998, 311-16, especially nos. 988, 990 and 1008).
