Description: | LeadPossible Weight. Conical object with an irregular, possibly 'castellated' base; it is likely the basal irregularity is exacerbated by damage. Patinated overall. The mass suggests this may indicate one half an ounce (or its variants in different periods). Both the pointed form of the putative apex and the castellated form of the 'base' are features of small weights and playing pieces of Viking Age date, though the damage to this example leaves their extent less certain. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 40-1700.Diameter: 15.8mm, Height: 20.1mm, Weight: 16.86gms.
