Description: | A cast lead alloy weight, probably dating to between the Medieval to Post Medieval period, c. 12th-17th century AD. The weight is square in plan, with a slightly domed upper surface and a flat base, resulting in a sub-trapezoidal cross-section. The upper surface is decorated with a large raised long cross with three pellets at the end of three of the arms. Because the weight is decorated with cross types similar to Medieval long cross coinage and later types, it seems likely that this weight can be dated to the period suggested above. The weight measures 54.78 mm long, 50.83 mm wide, 10.54 mm thick and weighs 164.1 grams.
