Description: | A lead weight probably dating to the Post-Medieval period, (1500-1700). The object is circular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The front of the object is decorated with three concentric rings in the centre of which is a stamped with -(dash) P, possibly representing the weight which is 0lb and 7.75oz or 219.8g. The back of the object is undecorated. The object has a light whitish brown patina and has several nicks and scratches.Given the growing number of these lead weights being found in the North West, it is probable that these weights are late in date (17th to 18th Centuries AD).
