Description: | A complete cast lead alloy large standing weight of unknown date. The weight is conical in shape and circular in cross-section with a flat base and a large circular suspension hole at the top.Lead weights were used throughout a large span of time and were generally easy to manufacture; therefore, they are difficult to date outside of secure archaeological contexts. This style of standing weight seems to have been used most frequently within the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. For a similar example, cf. Biggs and Withers 2000, esp. No. 73.
