Description: | A cast lead weight. The date of this type of weight ranges from Roman to Post-Medieval. The weight is circular in plan. The base has a diameter of 23.26mm and the sides slope upwards to a flat top with a diameter of c.15.00mm, this gives a flattened conical or hemispherical (D-shaped section). A circular perforation is present at the centre of the weight from flat base surface to flat top surface. This perforation is filled with hard dried mud which makes it difficult to determine an accurate diameter. The diameter of the perforation at the base is c.8.74mm and the diameter at the top seems to be c.6.37mm. The weight has a height of 9.54mm and weighs 25.30g (0.89oz) including dried mud inside the central perforation.See PAS record KENT-B84332 which shows a similar weight.
