Description: | Complete cast lead alloy circular disc shaped weight. The weight is flat on the bottom, has slightly tapered sides and then is mostly flat on the top with a raised dome shaped pellet in the centre. The weight weighs 80.6g which corresponds to almost 3oz. The item probably formed part of a set of weights but lead weights were employed for many purposes so it is difficult to suggest a precise use. Based on the form the item is dated to the post Medieval to Modern period, c.1700-1900.
