Description: | A complete lead alloy plumb bob of unknown date. The object is roughly biconical; it has an elongated circular sectioned shaft with a bulbous perforated terminal at one end; the opposite end of the object terminates in a conical point. It has been decorated with a thick collar at the widest point on the body. A casting seam is visible. The material has a creamy brown-white patina, with some areas marked by a dark brown colour. No close parallel has been found for this design, but a Post Medieval date is suggested based on the similarity in shape to Post Medieval seal matrixes, and the difference to Roman examples on the PAS database such as KENT-99ABF6 and NARC228.Length: 30.9mm; Width: 19.3mm; Weight: 29.38g
