Description: | A complete cast lead weight of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing part of its decoration due to modern damage and is very worn.It is relatively crudely cast, circular in plan and D-shaped in section with a slight lip on the outer edge. The front face is coarse and uneven with a raised moulded cross that extends towards the edge of the weight with a raised dot present in each divided quarter. The back face of the weight is undecorated and flat. It was possibly used as a trade weight.This weight measures 56.01mm in diameter, 16.98mm in thickness, and weighs 234.59g (a little over 8 oz).Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database from Weybread, Suffolk (SF-83B7C7) and Blaxhall, Suffolk (SF-7AA6F1)
