Description: | LeadWeight. Cast conical Weight. An indentation of the base surrounds a central longitudinal hole of diameter 5mm and depth circa 15mm. The mass might suggest this represented three averdepois ounces, though the match is inexact. Round weights of 80 and 85gms are included in the published account of the David Rogers Collection of lead weights (Biggs and Withers 2000, pages 25-6). Further weights, of this form and others, have been reported from the same location as this one. A conical weight of 100gms also came as an unstratified find from Flixborough, where occupation spanned the Middle Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian periods (Wastling 2009, pages 423-4, no. 3282). Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1300-1500.Diameter: 27.8mm, Height: 26.9mm, Weight: 85.20gms.
