Description: | LeadWeight. Cast conical weight with central integrally cast longitudinal aperture of diameter 5mm. The mass may indicate this to represent three ore/ora, a Viking-Age measure equivalent to an underweight ounce of circa 23gms. A lightly incised line runs across the centre of the flat base. Though an Anglo-Scandinavian affinity may be entertained, it should be remembered that many aspects of material culture persisted in the Danelaw throughout the 12th century and perhaps beyond. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1050.Diameter: 24.1mm, Height: 22.9mm, Weight: 69.27gms.
