Description: | LeadWeight. Cast object of waisted bobbin or cotton reel form, with two oval ends of length/diameter 30mm and 28.5mm with a constriction to a diameter of c.20mm between them. Heavily patinated and pitted by corrosion. The bobbin form and the slight inequality in the sizes of the ends are both features of a class of objects considered of possibly Roman date on account of their appearance along with Roman material reported from Newbald Lodge, East Riding of Yorkshire. Similar objects are known from Lincolnshire, with several recently reported. The constriction may have permitted tied attachment, while the form also appears intended to permit the object to roll or move, possibly on an eccentric course. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 40-400.Length: 37.6mm, Diameter (maximum): 30mm, Weight: 160.12gms.
