Description: | Post Medieval cast lead-alloy spherical probable weight or possible bead. The item is spherical with a slightly flattened surface to the top and bottom at the point of the circular hole running through the middle. The hole is slightly larger at one end than the other, expanding from a diameter of 4.2mm to 4.8mm. The item is undecorated. The item most probably functioned as a weight which was threaded onto something, often fishing nets are suggested but the item may have been used to weight down any variety of objects. The item is dated as broadly post-Medieval in line with other finds of similar material and patination from the site, c.1500-1800.
