Description: | A complete cast lead alloy standing weight of unknown date. The weight is conical in shape with a circular base and has a central shaft. The base of weight is slightly concave and has an incised circular groove surrounding the shaft, 13.19mm in diameter. The top of the cone is rounded off. The shaft exit at both the top of the weight and bottom is roughly sub-rectangular in shape and the shaft is filled with a fine light soil. The weight is undecorated. The metal itself is white in colour with darker patches. The typologies of these weights are not yet fully understood and the depth of time over which weights like this were used is such that providing a specific date for this object is not yet possible. The weight measures 17.37 mm in diameter and is 15.99 mm tall. It weighs 19.89g.
