Description: | A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical with a circular base which tapers to flattened apex. The worn projections of an integral suspension loop project from the apex. No marks or decoration is present.The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 34mm tall, 20.1mm tapering to 9.9mm in diameter and weighs 63.3g.Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses and are hard to date precisely. Therefore, due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely.
