Description: | A cast lead-alloy weight of probable Medieval to post-Medieval date.The weight takes the form of a truncated pyramid. The square upper surface is defined by a raised perimeter border, with an inward-pointing triangle at the centre of each side. The artefact is heavily corroded and one of the bottom corners has been lost.Dimensions: 14mm long, 12.3mm wide, 6.1mm high. Weight: 3.75g.Similar, albeit larger, weights are illustrated by Biggs and Withers (2000: 27-29). Given the small size, it is also possible that this is a gaming piece.
