The weight is sub-circular in plan and D shaped in profile; in cross section it is an irregular rectangle. Through the centre is an oval hole (8.4mm x 7.8mm) with a distinct wear facet on the internal edge. There is no sign of decoration and the weight is a mid grey colour with an even, but powdery corrosion. Similar weights have been dated to both the Roman and the medieval periods however it is most likely that this is of medieval date, probably for use as a net or line weight.The weight measures 20.5mm length, 18.7mm width, is 7.6mm high and weighs 11.56 grams.
