Description: | A crudely cast, lead artefact of unknown date, probably a weight or a plumb-bob. There is a thick body, oval in section and rounded at the bottom. At the top the artefact is flattened and there is a narrower, circular section rising from the centre of this flat surface, giving the whole artefact the appearance of a bottle with a rounded base. There is no decoration. The artefact is 31.2mm long, 23.2mm wide and 17mm thick. It weighs 72.13gm. The object is similar to LON-F35834, LANCUM-6822C2 and LIN-E94F54 which discusses published parallels. None of the dating in the records is confident.
