Description: | A cast lead weight of post medieval date, AD1650 - 1800. It is circular and domed on the upper side. The underside is flat and carries punched marks, one of which appears to be the numeral 8; the others are the initials M W, which may be those of the owner. It is 21.5mm in diameter and 8.6mm thick. It weighs 16.17gm (0.57oz) and may originally have been a half ounce weight.The attribution to a post medieval date is based upon the discovery of an officially verified, copper alloy trade weight, carrying the same punched initials, in the immediate vicinity. See database reference SWYOR-604657.
