Description: | Cast lead alloy hanging weight, possibly for a steelyard, probably of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The weight is a truncated cone with an integral squared pierced attachment loop at the top. The hole for attachment is sub-circular. There is a circular indentation on the base. The weight measures 20.2mm in length. The diameter at the bottom is 14.3mm and it is 12.2mm at the top. It weighs 19.29 grams. Lead weights were used for a long period and lack many diagnostic features, so are difficult to date precisely although most are Medieval or Post medieval in date.
