Description: | A barrel-shaped lead alloy weight, with a hole through the centre along the long axis. It is of uncertain date, but probably Medieval or Post Medieval. The weight is cylindrical and tapers at each end. It is circular in section and was made by casting in a mould; the casting seal is visible running the length of the weight in two places. This is probably a net weight or fishing weight used for birding, fishing or catching rabbits. It has a tan and grey patina. Similar examples are NARC-064B16 and WILT-08BA92.
