Description: | A complete cast lead alloy weight, probably medieval in date (c AD 1100-1500). The weight is circular in plan, and sub trapezoidal in profile, forming the shape of a squashed rounded pyramid with a flat base. A central perforation runs through the entire length of the weight. The width of the weight increases from the base (maximum) to the top (minimum width). The perforation hole has irregular edges and measures 8mm across at the base and 7mm at the top. The surface of the weight is rough and undecorated. The weight has a yellow to buff patina.
