Description: | A complete, age uncertain, Roman-Post Medieval, crudely cast, lead alloy probable weight. Rounded, conical shaped apex but with tapering base otherwise oval in cross-section shape. There is a relatively, fair size hole of distorted crude oval shape that penetrates right down to the other end but does not go right the way through. This cavity 'mushrooms' out within the body creating an undercut. It is quite possible this weight was mounted on a wooden shaft, now rotted away, in which case it could have been used as a small club or walking stick handle. The weight has an uneven matt pale grey surface and is likely to date from 43AD to 1800AD. Ref. Detector Finds, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1992, page 52-57 no. 10 and Detector Finds 2, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1993, page 29-34 no. 67. The weight is 36.52mm long, 28.98mm wide,24.82mm thick, diameter 36.52mm and weighs 110.30g.
