Description: | An incomplete cast lead weight of Medieval to Post-medieval date (AD 1200-1700) The weight is a sub-ovate disk with an integrally cast pellets design running circumferentially around the obverse of the weight. The centre of the object appears devoid of decorative pattern although due to the condition of the object this may have been obscured post-depositionally. Sections out the outer portion of the weight are missing.The reverse is smooth with not decoration, there is a single almost central line which runs across the diameter of the reverse, this possibly occurred post-deposition.Due to the identifier being unable to view the object, a broad date must be applied. Similar examples place the weight with the date range given above.The Diameter is 32.78mm > 38.91mm, Weight is 54.5g (19.2 ounces).For similar examples see Portable Antiquities Scheme Database: SF-23D664, SUR-6D7641
