Description: | LeadWeight. Cast cylindrical weight with an upstanding rim at one end. The rim is also lightly indented with a series of at least four U-shaped notches which may have conferred a castellated appearance. Patinated overall, but with recent scratches possibly arising from robust cleaning, particularly at the rimmed end. The mass may suggest this represented one Tower mark, or 160 silver pennies. The Tower mark was used to weigh bread as well as silver, for which a simple object of this form would seem apt. Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1200-1500.Diameter: 33.5mm, Height: 28.4mm, Weight: circa 230gms.
