Description: | A cast lead alloy object, possibly a weight probably dating from the Medieval or Post Medieval period (AD 1200 - 1800). The object is circular in form and its outside edge is slightly bevelled. The object is pierced through the middle, the hole is a wider diameter on the upper face compared to the other. Both faces of the object are crudely decorated: on the upper face roughly incised lines radiate from the central piercing, and on the reverse are irregular, angular indentations in roughly concentric circles around the central piercing. The object has a cream patina. With a mass of 0.3oz, the possible weight does not seem to fit neatly into the usual system of measurements.
