Description: | A cast lead alloy weight of unknown date probably later Post Medieval or modern 1700-1800 AD. The weight is sub-circular in plan and D shaped in profile; in cross section it is an irregular rectangle. There is a W and L on one side of the weught; the shape of the letters suggest a late Post Medeival date. 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 is 45.6mm in diameter, 6.8mm thick and weighs 59.50 grams.
