Description: | A crudely cast lead alloy weight of unknown date, probably Late Medieval or Post Medieval. It is similar in form to a spindle whorl, but as it weights almost exactly 1oz, it is more likely to have been used as a weight. It is in the shape of a truncated cone with a circular central perforation. There is no decoration or other marking. It is 20mm in diameter and 13.9mm high. It weighs 27.22gm. It has a dark grey patina.
