Description: | A complete lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical with a wide circular base which tapers to a narrower off centre apex. A circular perforation is present running through the object from the apex to the base. No decoration is present.The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 10.7mm tall, 21.6mm in diameter and weighs 20.1g.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. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
