Description: | Lead Weight. Cast discoid weight with indistinct and possibly fortuitous impressions on both its flat faces. Patinated overall. The mass may suggest this to represent an underweight uncia or ounce; alternatively it may equal six of the units used in Viking Dublin (4.43gms) for bullion transactions. Weights of about this value and of this and other forms are also included in a series reported from later medieval contexts in London. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 40-1800.Diameter: 25mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 26.75gms.
