Description: | A cast lead weight of Medieval date. It is sub-oval in shape and sub-rectangular in section with four faceted faces seperated by raised ribs, one of which has part missing due to old breaks. At one end is an integrally cast suspension loop that is circular in shape with a circular hole. It is probably a fishing weight, used to weigh down a net. It measures 64.77mm in length, 19.53mm in width, 18.19mm in thickness, and weighs 116.82g.It is similar to published examples (e.g. Egan, 1998, fig. 231, NARC-2C7714, NLM-A73311). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
