Description: | An incomplete lead weight of Medieval to Post-medieval date (AD 1300-1600). The object is sub-triangular in section and sub-circular in plan, this giving the object a broadly cone shape. The base of the object is smooth and flat. The weight has an iron core and corrosion can be seen at both ends of the object. This is most likely the remnants of an iron suspension loop. Such loops were used in order to create ease of storage for such objects. The iron loop is missing due to either an old break or due to post-depositional processes.The lead is a dark cream in colour. The iron is an orange-brown in colour.
