Description: | Cast lead alloy steelyard weight, Roman in date. The weight is bi-conical in shape, widening in the centre and narrowing to the top and bottom. There is a broken iron sub-rectangular suspension loop with a poorly formed perforation hole at the top of the weight, and the remains of an iron attachment at the bottom. The lead surface of the weight is covered with metallic corrosion which is fragile and flaking off. The iron suspension is corroded. The surface of the weight has a yellow to buff patina.
