Description: | LeadWeight. Cast conical weight. An indentation of the base surrounds a central longitudinal hole of diameter 5mm and depth 15mm; it does not appear likely that the hole continued much further, and it may have received a dowel peg. The mass might indicate this represents one averdepois pound or one Tower mark of 160 pennyweight (233gms) - the Tower Weight system was used for bread as well as for coinage, though for either system the weight is probably too heavy.. Further weights, of this form and others, were reported from the same location. Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1300-1500.Diameter: 39.6mm, Height: 32.1mm, Weight: circa 250gms.
